Dear Sir,
     I have a problem which is related to ADF calculations. If a molecular has 2 minima( one is global minimum, the other is local minimum) with the same symmetry(say, C2V), when we optimize its geometry in ADF, will we always get the global minimum as the final optimized geometry? Or it depends on the starting geometry whether we will get the global minimum or local minimum?
    I have been thinking about this for a long time, Can you be kind enough to enlighten me on this?

Thanks a lot.

Yours Sincerely,
Yinghua shen
