This can be systematically eliminated by increasing the number of K̄ points. As the surface plasmon energy and linewidth dispersions are smooth functions of momenta we evaluate these characteristics at small momenta fitting the calculated data by quadratic polynomials with the constraint that they should converge to the same value at q̄ = 0 for different exchange-correlation kernels.
