ODDONLY = .TRUE. | .FALSE.
Default: ODDONLY = .FALSE. 

Description: ODDONLY=.TRUE. selects a subset of k-points for the representation of the Fock exchange potential, with C1=C2=C3=1, and n1+n2+n3 odd.


One may restrict the sum over q in the Fock exchange potential (or one of its short range counterparts) to a subset, {qk}, of the full (N1×N2×N3) k-point set, {k}, for which the following holds

where b1,2,3 are the reciprocal lattice vectors of the primitive cell, and Ci is the integer grid reduction factor along reciprocal lattice direction bi.

ODDONLY=.TRUE. selects a subset of k-points with C1=C2=C3=1, and n1+n2+n3 odd. It reduces the computational work load for HF type calculations by a factor two, but is only sensible for high symmetry cases (such as sc, fcc or bcc cells).

Mind: there are circumstances under which NKRED and NKREDX,Y,Z should not be used!
