left eigenvectors using eigs with sparse matrices

Is there any way of using eigs (not eig) to calculate left eigenvectors of a sparse matrix?

Here M is your matrix

[right_eig_vectors, eig_val, left_eig_vectors] = eig(M);

Sorry, I meant specifically using eigs, as I don't think eig works with sparse matrices.

[Ameer Hamza]

In that case, you can find left eigenvectors like this

[right_eig_vector, rig_val] = eigs(M);
[left_eig_vector, ~] = eigs(M');
