Basis set modification after 'blowup'

[luyj]

Hello,

I am trying to calculate core excitations. It has proven beneficial to augment the atom where the excitation is carried out with many diffuse basis functions. First I used a medium sized basis to converge the core hole. After that the diffuse functions get added to the already existing basis (witch worked just fine).
Now my first question: Is it possible using Turbomole to find and delete linear dependent basis functions? And second: Can I diagonalize the resulting Kohn-Sham matrix without starting a new calculation as it is unlikely to converge in the diffuse basis?

Thanks in advance!

1) TURBOMOLE has currently no option to remove linear dependencies from the basis set.
2) as much as I know, there is also no save option to stop a DFT calculation after the first diagonalization step and print the orbital energies
