Dear Dr. Lorenzo Paulatto
Thank you! In the tutorial* INPUT_LD1.html*, it says that
rcoreREAL

Matching radius (a.u.) for the smoothing of the core charge.
If not specified, the matching radius is determined
by the condition:  rho_core(rcore) = 2*rho_valence(rcore)

In other words, if i donnot give a value to rcore, the default value is
related to rho_valance, but i have not found the meaning of rho_valence,
can you explain it for me?
Thanks!
