2 Charge flipping is a method for ab initio determination of an approximate electron density from the set of structure-factor amplitudes  Published by Oszlanyi & S ü t ö (2004), Acta Cryst A  Requires only lattice parameters and reflection intensities  The output is an approximate scattering density of the structure sampled on a discrete grid  No use of symmetry apart from the input intensities  Related to the LDE (low density elimination) method (Shiono & Woolfson (1992), Acta Cryst. A; Takakura et al. (2001), Phys. Rev. Lett.) and the “ difference map ” (Elser (2003), Acta Cryst.
