Re: Non-linear ecuation... again...

[humberto Nanni]

Yes, l2 is a (very precise) solution, but maybe there are another. Why i

point that?; because now i have the next equations to solve:

function F  =  evalF(x)

g1 = -19475/8314;
g2 = 0;
g3 = 0;
g4 = 20028/8314;
g5 = 395865/8314;
g6 = 92603/8314;
g7 = 0;

Ac = 2;
Ah = 14;
Ao = 3;

F(1) = log(x(1))-log(x(8))+x(9)+4*x(10)-g1;
F(2) = log(x(2))-log(x(8))+2*x(11)-g2;
F(3) = log(x(3))-log(x(8))+2*x(10)-g3;
F(4) = log(x(4))-log(x(8))+x(9)+x(11)-g4;
F(5) = log(x(5))-log(x(8))+x(9)+2*x(11)-g5;
F(6) = log(x(6))-log(x(8))+2*x(10)+x(11)-g6;
F(7) = log(x(7))-log(x(8))+x(9)-g7;
F(8) = x(1)+x(2)+x(3)+x(4)+x(5)+x(6)+x(7)-x(8);
F(9) = x(1)+x(4)+x(5)+x(7)-Ac;
F(10) = 4*x(1)+2*x(3)+2*x(6)-Ah;
F(11) = 2*x(2)+3*x(4)+2*x(5)+x(6)-Ao;

when I solve it, (damped NR), i get the next results:

x =

   2.7379e-02
   5.9502e-20
   6.9452e+00
   4.2874e-10
   1.5000e+00
   3.8942e-05
   4.7264e-01
   8.9452e+00
   2.9405e+00
   1.2654e-01
   2.3230e+01

F =

   -8.8818e-16
    0.0000e+00
   -1.6653e-16
   -1.7764e-15
    0.0000e+00
    1.7764e-15
    0.0000e+00
    0.0000e+00
    0.0000e+00
    0.0000e+00
    0.0000e+00

defect =  7.1275e-30

that looks like a solution, but by the physical meaning of the
variables, x(2) and x(4) can´t be zero at the same time (and they are
from a
practical sense). Yeah, the model could be wrong (i hope it doesn´t)....

anyway; somebody have a sugestion to found another solution (real
roots), ( i used a lot
of starting values, from  all x(i)  being 0.0001, to all x(i) equal to
100000, and always get the same), or a suggestion to demostrate that the

non-lin system has only one solution.

well thanks a lot.
