+Kinetic energy preconditioning in ONETEP
+========================================
+
+:Author: Chengcheng Xiao
+:Date:   Dec 2025
+
+ONETEP at the moment, by default uses a modified Teter reciprocal
+preconditioning.
+
+`The original Teter reciprocal preconditioning function <https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.40.12255>`__
+is defined as:
+
+.. math::
+   K_{\mathbf{G}, \mathbf{G}^{\prime}}=\delta_{\mathbf{G}, \mathbf{G}^{\prime}} \frac{27+18 x+12 x^2+8 x^3}{27+18 x+12 x^2+8 x^3+16 x^4}
+
+where
+
+.. math::
+   x=\frac{\left(\hbar^2|\mathbf{k}+\mathbf{G}|^2\right) / 2 m}{T_i^m}
+
+and :math:`T_i^m=<\psi_i^m\left|\left(-\hbar^2 / 2 m\right) \nabla^2\right| \psi_i^m >` 
+which is related to the band :math:`i` that :math:`K` is applied to.
+
+In ONETEP, since we do not have the kinetic energy eigenvalues, :math:`x` is
+modified to be:
+
+.. math::
+   x=\frac{\frac{1}{2}|\mathbf{G}|^2}{\frac{1}{2}k_0^2}
+
+and :math:`k_0` is a manually specified number.
+
+Automatic selection of :math:`k_0`
+==================================
+
+Since ONETEP version 8, it is possible to perform calculations where :math:`k_0`
+is calculated automatically based on the average kinetic energy at each NGWF
+step. I.e.,
+
+.. math::
+   k_0 = \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{Max[Tr(KT)]}}{n_\mathrm{occupied\ bands}}}
+
+where :math:`\mathrm{Max[Tr(KT)]}` is the max value of the trace of the kinetic
+energy operator matrix in the NGWF basis, and :math:`n_\mathrm{occupied\ bands}`
+is the number of occupied bands.
+
+It is also possible to perfrom NGWF-specific preconditioning so that no
+band averaging is needed. In this case, each NGWF will have its own :math:`k_0`
+value based on its own kinetic energy expectation value.
+There are a few choices in terms of the kinetic energy to use for the
+preconditioning for each NGWF.
+
+   1. The diagonal elements of :math:`KT`.
+   2. The diagonal elements of :math:`S^{-1}T`.
+   3. The diagonal elements of :math:`T`.
