[Pw_forum] How do we choose Emin and Emax while calculating the Density of states?

dear S,
  please provide your affiliation.
  are you sure the problem is related to definition of emin and emax ?
  is the code working if you do not specify any value for them ?
  are you sure you are not typing in some control character?
  best,
