Orthogonalization between left and right eigenvectors.  I’ve got two EPS 
instances, one for the left and one for the right eigenvectors, and I need to 
orthogonalize them with respect to each other: enforce L^H R = 1.  Copying 
every vector out of both BVs seems wasteful.  Especially because I don’t really 
need the EPS to do anything with them after this.




I noticed in the source for EPSGetEigenvector that there is a “permutation” 
array that might change the order of the vectors in the BV.  Is there a way to 
get this using the public API?




It appears that I can call “EPSGetEigenvector” to make sure that 
“EPSComputeVectors” is called, so I get eigenvectors instead of Shur vectors or 
other things.  But I’m not sure how to get the permutation back.
