<p>Dear Bhamu,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Actually it is not a warning, it just tells you which Hubbard manifold in DFT+U is used (you can have 'atomic' and 'ortho-atomic' orbitals for the Hubbard manifold, and the Phonon+U code supports only 'atomic'). So yes you can continue the calculation, and
in the publication you should specify that the atomic orbitals were used (without the Lowdin orthogonalization). You can have a look at this paper for more details:</p>
