Hello again
I have adopted another procedure as follows:

I have extracted the energy values corresping to the maximum values of DOS
in the up and down spin from the files case.dos1evup and case.dos1evdn and
I have found the following values:

E (max DOS up = 2.40) = - 0.95185 eV
E (maxDOS dn = 2.80) = + 1.95977 eV

and I have calculated the exchange splitting from this formula  dE= +
1.95977 - ( - 0.95185) = 2.91162 eV

Is correct ?
