Empty sym solution when using symbolic solve() function

I got some trouble with the solve function: I have a system of equations with multiple variables, which I want to compute a symbolic solution for, for one variable only.
I was able to reproduce the problem with some simple code:
syms u v
eqns = [2*u^2 + v^2 == 0, u - v == 1];
solv = solve(eqns, v)
The answer I get is
solv =
Empty sym: 0-by-1
When solving for both u and v, I always get the right solution. I'm relatively new to MATLAB, does anybody see the problem?

Hi Marc,
The reason you are seeing an empty solution is because the set of equations you are trying to solve does not have a valid symbolic solution. Given two equations with two variables, you will get a discrete set of solutions. Let's say you had two equations with 3 variables (x,y and z).
syms x y z
eqns = [x + y + z == 0, x^2 + y^2 + z^2 == 1];
To compute the solution of above equations symbolically, you need to specify which variable to serve as the "parameter". For example, to compute solution in terms of z (parameter), seek solutions for x and y.
solv = solve(eqns,x,y)

I am also getting the same error. Have you resolved this issue?? Please let me know about the solution.

I think you should set the solve() to return conditions. And you can also set it to return real solutions only. I just fixed a case my setting these parameters.
The older version would normal enforce these conditions and issue solutions with some warnings.
