An atom at a special position usually has (at most) an occupancy of 0.5. However, it may happen that more than one symmetry operator maps the special position upon itself; in that case the occupancy is 1/(number of symmetry operators mapping point onto itself). Ths, a point on a n-fold rotation axis has (maximum) occupancy of 1/n.

In space group P2_1, there are no special positions - the Eigenproblem has no solution.
In space group P2<sub>1</sub>, there are no special positions - the Eigenproblem has no solution.
