5. There are some subtleties when the operator is the one-body potential; see Ref..
6. The PAW method uses a similar construction. It is the one of primary differences between PAW and conventional LAPW.

10. z Rl, finite l cutoff in augmentation and within the frozen core approximation where the core tails are expanded into the interstitial by attaching a smoothed Hankel function.
11. A drawback of this procedure is that slight discontinuities arise, e.g., in the k dependence of the energy bands or the total energy vs lattice constant.
