Re: fsolve features

[Francesco Potorti`]

   (2)   a call to fsolve  like :  [x,info]=fsolve('f',x0)   is adequate for
   function   (vector) Y =  f ( vector X  ) 
         >>> where Y and X have same length <<<<
         It's supposed to handle equally sized problems only!

It is easy to work around this.  Maybe you are suggesting that a workaround
is nt what you would like to have?
   
   [x,RC]= fsolve(f='x^2 +1',randn(1)); #>V2.0.14
       #NOTE: prior to V2.0.14 , you have to  define  f  explicitely:
       #function y=f(x) y=x^2+1; end
       #[x,RC]=fsolve('f',randn(1))

!!!  Where is this documented?

   Because of all these pitfalls of 'fsolve', I decided to write my my
   personal solver 'cfsolve' , returning correct complex roots for this (or
   similar) problem

Where is your cfsolve?
