Dear H. Lee

There are epw.in that I used for two calculations.

First(include restart with different fsthick,and the lambda were different before and after the restart)

and I get the same results of two calculation in prefix.a2f

Dear YSW:

Could you clarify your questions? It seems to me that your results are obvious; with different fsthick, different lambda, but with the same fsthick, same lambda.

Dear H. Lee:

I just restart the interpolation part, I donot konw whether repeat the evaluation of e-ph vertex ?
but I get a good result.So, is it a successful calculation? even though it is no convergent.

Could you provide the full output of epw.out for your restart calculation so that I can check whether or not the evaluation of e-ph vertex was repeated?

Sincerely,

H. Lee
