LSELFENERGY

LSELFENERGY = [logical]
Default: LSELFENERGY = .FALSE. 

Description: Controls whether the frequency-dependent self-energy is calculated or not.

---

If LSELFENERGY=.FALSE., QP shifts are evaluated. This is the default behavior.

If LSELFENERGY=.TRUE., the frequency dependent self-energy $\langle \psi _{n{\mathbf {k} }}|\Sigma (\omega )|\psi _{n{\mathbf {k} }}\rangle$ is evaluated. QP shifts are printed to OUTCAR for low-scaling GW algorithms, otherwise the QP-calculation is bypassed.
