Dear Iurii,
Thank you for yor reply and referencing the relevant paper.
Now the important question:
people prefer DFT+U, because in principle the computational cost is of order
(not so larger) than that of DFT, because one just introduces a correction
from "APPROXIMATE" Hubbard Model on DFT.
If one would compare "DFT+U+ortho-atomic" with the "orbital-dependent HSE"
method, can one be certain that the latter is still much more
computationally expensive than the former?
Thank you in advance.
Bests,
Mahmoud

Hubbard forces and stresses using "ortho-atomic" Hubbard projectors are much
more expensive than with "atomic". It is explained in PRB 102, 235159
(2020). Computational scaling is discussed in the appendix C.

Dear Paolo,
Thank you so much for your comments.
Actually, to find some sense about the time needed to calculate force, I
have performed scf calculations for just one iteration, but different
numbers of atoms (4, 8, 12, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 108) with more or less
the sama number of k points in BZ. The supercells were generated from the
QE-7.1/PW/example08 unitcell. The inputs and outputs are uploaded in:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12cWLR7PkMI1wolxgRLnOSCi4IhtnLmEO?usp=sharing
The results for low number of atoms seems to take reasonable times, but for
larger ones the time to calculate force becomes larger than the time for
just one iteration.
Do you see any un-normal behavior in force calculation routine?
Thank you very much for your comments.
Bests, Mahmoud

Not sure what you mean exactly. As a rule of thumb, the calculation of
the Hubbard contribution to forces should take no more than 1/3 or 1/4,
likely much less than that, of the time needed for a scf calculation, at
least for the simple ("atomic") U projection.
