solve nonlinear equations silumtaneously
显示 更早的评论
hi
i have four nonlinear equations with three unknowns kindly help me to solve it using matlab te equations are
v1=v+(c*n1^-a),
v2=v+(c*n2^-a),
v3=v+(c*n3^-a),
v4=v+(c*n4^-a)
only the unknown variables are v,c and a
so how to solve them
i hve tried to use the solve command but it didnt worked....

Careful, there are multiple solutions. You might have gotten out a structure array, and then [Y.v Y.c Y.a] would have all the v values followed by all the c values followed by all the a values. Index that at (1), (2), and (3) and you might be using unexpected values.
The primary solution, by the way, is a = 0 and the other two infinite.
Warning: there are two solutions with nearly identical "c" and "v" but fairly different "a". Precision counts in this matter.

Computer Aided Algebra and Computer Aided Mathematics systems are usually not good at finding all the roots of transcendental equations. It is not difficult to create an equation (e.g., like yours) for which there is no known analytical method of finding the roots. And if you try to proceed numerically, then you run into problems with numeric precision and with not knowing how many roots there are, and so on. Trying to proceed with calculus methods, such as looking for the minimum points of f(x)^2, often encounters the problem that the differential of transcendental functions is usually transcendental: you might happen to be able to numerically locate another solution or two that way, but you will usually have difficulty in knowing whether you found them all.
Using a different package, I find a minimum of 7 distinct solutions for the equations that you show. 3 of those are real-valued, and the others are complex-valued. There is nothing in your problem statement that prohibits complex-valued solutions.
Often, the only effective way you have of dealing with equations such as these is to use your knowledge of the system the equations are describing in order to provide constraints on the values, thus limiting the search region. And then you solve(), yes, but you take the ambiguous analytic solution and pick it apart within the valid range, using your knowledge of algebra and calculus to guide you. And plenty of plots. There is no mechanical solution method in such cases.
