EPISF
This function computes the performance index for a real symmetric eigensystem.
Function Return Value
EPISF — Performance index. (Output)
Required Arguments

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), see the Reference chapter of this manual. The performance index,
