Which Right Eigenvector to report?

%%Using the data below, what is right eigenvector for A? If V1 0.5662 0.2168 -0.8347, which one is right eigenvector? how about V2 and V3?
>> A=[0 -1 2 ; 5 0 4 ; 7 -2 0];
[V,D,W]=eig(A)
v1=V(1:end,1)
v2=V(1:end,2)
v3=V(1:end,3)
V =
0.5062 + 0.0000i -0.1323 - 0.2072i -0.1323 + 0.2072i
0.2168 + 0.0000i -0.8538 + 0.0000i -0.8538 + 0.0000i
-0.8347 + 0.0000i -0.2323 - 0.3959i -0.2323 + 0.3959i
D =
-3.7259 + 0.0000i 0.0000 + 0.0000i 0.0000 + 0.0000i
0.0000 + 0.0000i 1.8630 + 3.0679i 0.0000 + 0.0000i
0.0000 + 0.0000i 0.0000 + 0.0000i 1.8630 - 3.0679i
W =
0.8860 + 0.0000i 0.7895 + 0.0000i 0.7895 + 0.0000i
-0.0111 + 0.0000i -0.2759 - 0.3553i -0.2759 + 0.3553i
-0.4636 + 0.0000i 0.4072 - 0.0923i 0.4072 + 0.0923i

v2 =
-0.1323 - 0.2072i

I assume you meant 'right' as opposed to 'left' eigen vectors.
[V,D] = eig(A); % to get left eigenvectors, [V,D,W] = eig(A), here W has the left eigen vectors
% right eigen vectors and eigen values
V1 = V(:,1); D1 = D(1,1);
V2 = V(:,2); D2 = D(2,2);
V3 = V(:,3); D3 = D(3,3);
V1, V2, and V3 are the right eigen vectors of A, as
A*V1 - V1*D1 % is very small, near zero
A*V2 - V2*D2 % is very small, near zero
A*V3 - V3*D3 % is very small, near zero
Hope this helps.

Hi Ridwan Alam. Thanks for the answer. But, I little bit confuse when I discuss with my friend, is it D1 = -3.7259? So what is v1 =v(:,1)? Because Im looking for single value, for example right eigenvalue for V= 3.2 ,D=0.6, W= 2.1 or i failed to understand the concept?
Hi Ahmad, the eigen value is a scalar "value", but the eigen vectors are "vectors".
Here, D1 is your eigen VALUE (scalar) for the corresponding eigen VECTOR V1.
Hope this makes sense.

The left and right eigenvectors are matched one-by-one. For example, for [V, D, W] = eig(A), the eigenvalue D(k, k) corresponds to the right eigenvector V(:, k) and the left eigenvector W(:, k). In other words, A*V = V*D and A'*W = W*conj(D).

Thank you for the answer,
but I still not clear the value of right eigencertor to report.
