# EPSGetEigenvector

Gets the `i`-th right eigenvector as computed by `EPSSolve()`.

## Synopsis

    #include "slepceps.h"
    PetscErrorCode EPSGetEigenvector(EPS eps,PetscInt i,Vec Vr,Vec Vi)

Collective

## Input Parameters

- eps - the linear eigensolver context

- i - index of the solution

## Output Parameters

- Vr - real part of eigenvector

- Vi - imaginary part of eigenvector

## Notes

The caller must provide valid `Vec` objects, i.e., they must be created by the calling program with e.g. `MatCreateVecs()`.

If the corresponding eigenvalue is real, then `Vi` is set to zero. If PETSc is configured with complex scalars the eigenvector is stored directly in `Vr` (`Vi` is set to zero). In any case, the user can pass `NULL` in `Vr` or `Vi` if one of them is not required.

The index `i` should be a value between 0 and `nconv`-1 (see `EPSGetConverged()`). Eigenpairs are indexed according to the ordering criterion established with `EPSSetWhichEigenpairs()`.

The 2-norm of the eigenvector is one unless the problem is generalized Hermitian. In this case the eigenvector is normalized with respect to the norm defined by the \(B\) matrix.

In case of structured eigenproblems such as `EPS_BSE`, see the discussion about Extracting Eigenvectors of Structured Eigenproblems.
