Tank you for your reply.
It seems quite systematic, because my first example was for titanium and
I tried for silicon with the input of example01 (david) with a pseudo-potential
with non-local part defined up to 60 a.u. and I obtain this
rcut = 10 a.u.
! total energy = -15.89013028 ryd
estimated scf accuracy < 6.7E-09 ryd
band energy sum = 0.62621995 ryd
one-electron contribution = 4.74024554 ryd
hartree contribution = 1.07806794 ryd
xc contribution = -4.80868510 ryd
ewald contribution = -16.89975867 ryd
convergence has been achieved

you shouldn't: the radial integration is performed on short-range
functions only. Beyond 10 a.u. all you have is numerical noise.

please provide a test case (input and output)
