The page Algorithms used in VASP to calculate the electronic groundstate describes the class of minimizers based on a combination of the SCF cycle and density mixing. This, however, is not the only class of methods available (there's the direct minimizers as well).

Several "Theory" pages mentioned here are off-topic:
- Move "k-point integration" elsewhere
- Move "Wrap-around errors" elsewhere

Several (probably all) pages on electronic minimizers need to be reworked. In some of them references like "in the previous section" are used, which are meaningless in a wiki environment. Examples: Efficient single band eigenvalue-minimization and Conjugate gradient optimization.
