Calculation of g(F) and g(S)

How are g(Force) and g(Stress) calculated by VASP during ionic relaxation?

I would like to compare the calculated forces on the ions (from the "TOTAL-FORCE" in OUTCAR) and the force on the cell (i.e. external pressure) with EDIFFG.

The explicit expressions of the forces and stress are written In Georg Kesse's PhD thesis "Ab-initio Molekular Dynamik für Metalle".
The thesis is available in the library of the Technical University of Vienna.
