The electronic structure of the monoclinic structure of
is studied using both the local density
approximation (LDA) and the LDA+U. The LDA gives only a small
charge disproportionation, thus excluding that the structural
distortion should be sufficient to give a charge order. The
LDA+U results in a charge disproportion along the c-axis in
good agreement with the experiment. We also show how the
effective U can be calculated within the augmented plane-wave
methods.
