LNOAUGXC

LNOAUGXC = .TRUE. | .FALSE.
Default: LNOAUGXC = .FALSE. 

Description: LNOAUGXC specifies if the meta-GGA exchange-correlation functionals are evaluated with a density that is augmented or not.

The Kohn-Sham kinetic-energy density $\tau_{\sigma}$ should in principle be larger than the von Weizsäcker kinetic-energy density $\tau_{\sigma}^{\textrm{W}}=\left\vert\nabla\rho_{\sigma}\right\vert^{2}/\left(8\rho_{\sigma}\right)$. However, this may not be always the case in particular within the PAW spheres when the pseudo density is augmented with the compensation charge. If LNOAUGXC=.TRUE. in INCAR, then the pseudo density is not augmented with the compensation charge, which should alleviate the breaking of the condition $\tau_{\sigma}^{\textrm{W}}<\tau_{\sigma}$.
