Dear ADRIAN I used Sz_total=N(S1-S2),as an input parameter but this thing just speed up the calculation and it doesn't any effect on the output,means that with this input parameter i have result that it doesn't differ with the result that earlier i have got.i want to achieve the results that earlier are achieved in the following paper, *(SK Pati, S Ramasesha, D Sen - Physical Review B, 1997 - APS)* they study the ferrimagnetic chain and present the ground state energy and some correlations. they consider N cell that each cell consist of two spin(s1,s2). Hamiltonian is H=sum_i (S2_i . S1_i+1)+(S1_i.S2_i -1) i counts the cells and it is form 0 to N. the results that i achieve,two digite concur with theirs results. I don't what must i do that i have a better results. Thanks On Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 3:00 AM, <comp-phys-alps-users-request@phys.ethz.ch>wrote:

Dear All

I'm making my first experiments with Alps... I want to use DMRG for ferrimagnetic chain,but i have some problems. First,in the dmrg steps because the chain don't have the symmetry between left and right halves,the density matrices for these two halves should be constructed at every iteration of the calculation. Second,I think that it isn't exist spin parity symmetry. How i can do these?

Thanks in advance
