EPICG
This function computes the performance index for a complex eigensystem.
Function Return Value
EPICG — Performance index. (Output)
Required Arguments
NEVAL — Number of eigenvalue/eigenvector pairs on which the performance index computation is based. (Input)
A — Complex matrix of order N. (Input)
EVAL — Complex vector of length N containing the eigenvalues of A. (Input)
EVEC — Complex matrix of order N containing the eigenvectors of A. (Input)
The J-th eigenvalue/eigenvector pair should be in EVAL(J) and in the J-th column of EVEC.
Optional Arguments
N — Order of the matrix A. (Input)
Default: N = SIZE (A,2).
LDA — Leading dimension of A exactly as specified in the dimension statement in the calling program. (Input)
Default: LDA = SIZE (A,1).
LDEVEC — Leading dimension of EVEC exactly as specified in the dimension statement in the calling program. (Input)
Default: LDEVEC = SIZE (EVEC,1).

Description
Let M = NEVAL, λ = EVAL, xj = EVEC(*, J), the j-th column of EVEC. Also, let ɛ be the machine precision given by AMACH(4). The performance index, , is defined to be
The norms used are a modified form of the 1-norm. The norm of the complex vector v is
While the exact value of is highly machine dependent, the performance of EVCCG is considered excellent if  < 1, good if 1      100, and poor if  > 100. The performance index was first developed by the EISPACK project at Argonne National Laboratory; see Smith et al. (1976, pages 124-125).
Comments
1. Workspace may be explicitly provided, if desired, by use of E2ICG/DE2ICG. The reference is:
E2ICG (N, NEVAL, A, LDA, EVAL, EVEC, LDEVEC, WK)
The additional argument is:
WK — Complex work array of length N.
