====================
becke_numerical_grid
====================
This module contains all quantities needed to build Becke's grid used in general for DFT integration. Note that it can be used for whatever integration in R^3 as long as the functions to be integrated are mostly concentrated near the atomic regions.
This grid is built as the reunion of a spherical grid around each atom. Each spherical grid contains
a certain number of radial and angular points. No pruning is done on the angular part of the grid.
The main keyword for that module is:
* :option:`becke_numerical_grid grid_type_sgn` which controls the precision of the grid according the standard **SG-n** grids. This keyword controls the two providers `n_points_integration_angular` `n_points_radial_grid`.
The main providers of that module are:
* `n_points_integration_angular` which is the number of angular integration points. WARNING: it obeys to specific rules so it cannot be any integer number. Some of the possible values are [ 50 | 74 | 170 | 194 | 266 | 302 | 590 | 1202 | 2030 | 5810 ] for instance. See :file:`angular.f` for more details.
* `n_points_radial_grid` which is the number of radial angular points. This can be any strictly positive integer. Nevertheless, a minimum of 50 is in general necessary.
* `final_grid_points` which are the (x,y,z) coordinates of the grid points.
* `final_weight_at_r_vector` which are the weights at each grid point
For a simple example of how to use the grid, see :file:`example.irp.f`.
The spherical integration uses Lebedev-Laikov grids, which was used from the code distributed through CCL (http://www.ccl.net/).

.. code-block:: text
This subroutine is part of a set of subroutines that generate
Lebedev grids [1-6] for integration on a sphere. The original
C-code [1] was kindly provided by Dr. Dmitri N. Laikov and
translated into fortran by Dr. Christoph van Wuellen.
This subroutine was translated using a C to fortran77 conversion
tool written by Dr. Christoph van Wuellen.
Users of this code are asked to include reference [1] in their
publications, and in the user- and programmers-manuals
describing their codes.
This code was distributed through CCL (http://www.ccl.net/).
