.TH MPBI 1 "April 29, 2002" "MPB" "MIT Photonic-Bands Package"
.SH NAME
mpbi \- mpb with inversion symmetry
.br
mpbi-split \- mpb-split with inversion symmetry
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B mpbi
and
.B mpbi-split
commands.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original programs don't have a manual page.
.PP
.B mpbi
is a version of
.B mpb
built with requiring inversion symmetry. It can only compute the eigenstates of structures with inversion symmetry, but runs twice as fast as
.B mpb
and requires half as much memory.
.PP
.B mpbi-split
is equivalent to
.B mpb-split
but runs
.B mpbi
instances.
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR mpb (1), mpb-split (1).
