vdW (dispersion) correction and density functional perturbation theory.

Based on the description here:
Note, however, that these correction schemes are currently not available for calculations based on density functional perturbation theory.
So, in DFPT-related calculations, how do I apply vdW (dispersion) correction?

Regards,
Zhao

Dear Zhao,
would you be more specific about "related DFPT-calculations"?
Are you interested in Piezo dielectric tensors and Born effective charges, etc. or in phonons?

Dear merzuk.kaltak,

I am only discussing this issue in general. There are currently no calculations related to any specific physical properties in my case.

Understood,
Piezo dielectric tensors and Born effective charges might be evaluated for this set of functionals with LCALCEPS and LPEAD.
