MATLAB: Get Symbolic Left Eigenvectors

Question

Hello,

I am trying to get the left eigenvectors of a symbolic matrix. I tried using [V,D,W]=eig(A) but that gives me indices for W as said in the help file. My understanding is that the left eigenvectors solve the following equation: W'*A=D*W' but when I put that into solve, it doesn't do anything. Can someone please help?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Right eigen vectors of are the left eigen vectors of A.

[right_eig_vectors, eig_values] = eig(A);
[left_eig_vectors, ~] = eig(A.');
