K-point mesh and Monkhorst-Pack

[ramana3797]

TL;DR

I am confused as how these are used in VASP calculations

Are the K-point mesh and monkhorst pack same. I was reading research papers using VASP and in some papers as the number of cells increases the Monkhorst Pack increases but in others the K-Point mesh decreases.

Of course I could read the vasp documentation regarding your question (https://www.vasp.at/wiki/index.php/KPOINTS), but my impression is that your question is a better fit for

Atomic and Condensed Matter​

or maybe even
