Geometry optimiser of BDF package. Two optimizers can be used:

2. Original optimizer in BDF developed by Dr. Yong Zhang.

This BDFOPT module can be used to find minimal points, saddle points and also conical intersection points, when combined with TD-DFT and RESP modules. For details of the interface, see bdfopt/, module/bdfopt_mod.F90,dlfind_module.F90, sys_util/bdf_dlfind_util.F90 for interface.

Current limitations

1. Change of symmetry during optimization is not correctly handled for excited state optimization, because the correct input file needs to be prepared.
