To obtain PDOS, a projection on spherical harmonics is done. In this procedure, you lose part of the information. So, the sum of the parts is lower than the whole DOS, which contains the correct. Search: Pdos Vasp. And, second question is about the analysis of PDOS projected onto molecular orbitals or so-called COOP (crystal orbital overlap population) function. According to manual, this information is written into PROOUT file. ... I'm new to this field so I don't know for sure, but it seems that this 10 column format is a relatively new feature of vasp.
