That means that fsolve encountered a local minimum that produced a result far from zero and the gradient descent offered no other options.
However, it converges quite well if you allow complex solutions, and add ‘fval’ to the returned output of fsolve:
x0 = [1000*1i; 1000*1i];
converges to:
x =
101.4346e+000 - 61.6563e+000i
-141.2781e+000 - 8.4579e+000i
fval =
568.4342e-015 + 1.2506e-012i
-2.2737e-012 - 9.0949e-012i
which is acceptably close to zero.
