High frequency ε_∞ form BSE

Dear all,
Is it possible to obtain high frequency dielectric ε_∞ from BSE results, like alpha?
Thanks!

Dear Shudong,
can you be more explicit on what you wish to calculate?

Dear Shudong,
from the literature, high frequency dielectric ε_∞ is referred to as the real part of the electronic dielectric function evaluated at w=0
In case, yes, you can obtain it in yambo at different levels of approximation: IP, RPA, TDDFT, and BSE as well.
Two tips:
a) the convergece w.r.t the number of bands might be rather slow
b) you need to go beyond the resonant approximation.
Best,
D.
