<div>Dear Professor Paolo:</div>
<div>Thank you for your valuable instruction:)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Why is it almost impossilbe to obtain zero for tranlational modes from the linear response calculation?</div>
<div>Does finite displacement method (frozen phonon) can get zero?</div>
<div>Does it relate with spatial discretization?</div>
<div>I am interested in it:)</div>
