Abstract
For most practical applications of direct methods it is convenient to distinguish the following stages:
-
(a)
the initiation: how to get started.
-
(b)
the middle stage: phase generation and phase refinement.
-
(c)
the final selection of the most probable phase set.
In this chapter we discuss some practical aspects of (a) and (b) with emphasis on the determination of the starting set. But how to choose starting reflections depends on what we plan to do with them!
