  Using first principles calculations within DFT based on the full potential
APW+lo method, we calculated the electronic and magnetic structures for the
ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic states of La2MnNiO6 and analyzed the site
projected density of states and electronic band structures. Our calculations
show that the ground state of La2MnNiO6 is ferromagnetic insulating with the
magnetization in agreement with Hund's first rule and experimental findings.
