GGA
GGA = 91 | PE | RP | PS | AM
Default: GGA = type of exchange-correlation in accordance with the POTCAR file
Description: GGA specifies the type of generalized-gradient-approximation one wishes to use.
This tag was added to perform GGA calculation with pseudopotentials generated with conventional LDA reference configurations.
Possible options are:

The tags AM (AM05) and PS (PBEsol) are only supported by VASP.5.X. The AM05 functional and the PBEsol functional are constructed using different principles, but both aim at a decent description of yellium surface energies. In practice, they yield quite similar results for most materials. Both are available for spin polarized calculations.
The special flags for range separated RPA have not been extensively tested and should be used only after careful inspection of the source code. The flags allow to select range separated ACFDT calculations, where a short range local (DFT-like) exchange and correlation kernel is added to the long range exchange and RPA correlation energy.
