Hello,
i wana to calculate polarization of bifeo3 by lda+u,but i have WARNING that i can't undrestand it,could you please explain it for me?
i have sent my input file and my WARNING.

WARNING:
mkdenpos : WARNING -
Density went < 0 at 24 points
and was set to 1.00E-14. Lowest was -0.65E-01.
Likely due to too low boxcut or too low ecut for pseudopotential core charge.
Thank you.

Re: LDA+u parameters
Maybe the problem is that your paw U and J are very large--note that these default to atomic units, so an input of 7.0 means 7.0 Hartree, you probably wanted 7.0 eV here, so you should be using 7.0/27.2 = 0.257; likewise for J.
