 Dear All,
 I have optimized the geometry of a system for the first excited state using
 TDDFT. To assure that the found stationary point is a minimum in the excited
 state I have to perform frequency analysis which is prohibitively expensive for
 my system. I am wondered to ask a naive question. Performing the frequency
 calculation using the same functional but using DFT method could be a reasonable
 approximation for TDDFT frequencies?
 Thank you for your kind answer.
 best wishes,
 Saman
