Dear Wang,

   Thank you for the quick reply. You are right, just as the normal method that
we usually use to calculate the phonon dispersion curve with ph.x, q2r.x
and matdyn.x, we can obtain the dispersion curve. However, I am trying another
way that the dynamical matrices are calculated using other methods such as lmto
linear-reponse code. The code just provide one of the dynamical matrices of
the same set of equivalent q-points, so I need reduce the known
dynamical matrices
to get the others' probably according to the symmetry operations of q-points.

Best wishes,
Z.Liu
