I want to study Gd in Fe matrix. How to specify LDAUL , LDAUU and LDAUJ terms in the INCAR file ?
For Fe, 3d-orbital is important, where as for Gd, 4f and 5d orbitals are important
(1) Now how to specify these in input file?

Is it like the following :

LDAUL = 2 3
LDAUU = Value_Fe Value_Gd
LDAUJ = Value_Fe Value_Gd
where in POSCAR Fe is followed by Gd.

(2) For Gd, if I want to specify LDAUL for both d and f orbitlas, then how to specify that?

To the best of my knowledge VASP allows you to specify LDAUL only for one kind of orbitals

best,
