A generalized divide-conquer (GDC) method, in which a cluster is taken
 into account as the core region instead of a single atom in the DC method,
 is available by the following option:
  
     scf.EigenvalueSolver       GDC
 
The core region is automatically determined so that the computational
 efficiency can be maximized and this scheme can be more efficient than
 the conventional DC method for low dimensional systems, while the details
 are not shown here. The total number of truncated clusters is reduced 
 as a result of the clustered core region which is is the reason for
 the efficiency. As well as the DC method, the accuracy and efficiency
 are controlled by the following keywords: 
 'orderN.HoppingRanges' and 
 'orderN.NumHoppings'.
