LRPAFORCE = .TRUE. | .FALSE.
Default: LRPAFORCE = .FALSE.

Description: LRPAFORCE=.TRUE. calculates forces in the RPA.

Available as of VASP.6.1.

This tag is optionally used in the low-scaling RPA calculations or GW calculations and allows to compute the RPA forces on each ion. For instance

ALGO = RPAR ;  LRPAFORCE = .TRUE.

computes the RPA total energy with corresponding forces, while

ALGO = G0W0R ; LRPAFORCE = .TRUE.

determines in addition the QP-energies in the GW approximation.

This tag can be used in combination with the usual relaxation options IBRION and NSW.

Important: The RPA stress tensor is not available.

Only ISIF=0 is supported.

Warning: RPA forces for metals are currently not supported.
