A retired applied mathematician, consultant, sometime mechanical engineer, numerical analyst, woodworker, bridge player. Please DON'T contact me, as too many students then decide I am their personal consultant if I allow it. I won't do consulting by mail.

Solve nlp equation system with variables spanning more than 40 powers of 10
Are the variables potentially going to vary by that many powers of 10? If so, then you would have the solver work in a log space...

Solve 𝑔 ′ ( 𝑥 ) = 0 for z in terms of N, a positive integer
First, it is not a cubic equation! Yes, you can replace sqrt(x) with a new variable z, thus a transformation. But doing so can ...

With k(0<k<0.5) and u(-1<u<1) as independent variables and x and y as dependent variables, how do you graph x and y, respectively, for a system of implicit function equations?
You have 2 parameters, k and u. If you were to fix those parameters, then you could solve for the solutions. There would be zero...
