Hi,
I was testing a system (Au, 1atom per cell) and i notice that if i calculate the dielectric function with
ISMEAR=0
I got the output (in OUTCAR) with a number of points = NEDOS/10 .

When i use
ISMEAR= -5
I got it with the number of points = NEDOS .

I really would like the reason for this difference, as in vasprun.xml i always got number of points = NEDOS.

Any idea?
Thanks in advance
