Hello Everyone, I have to solve the system of equations below in Mathematica but I have trouble figuring out how to impose the constrains the constraints "0<= Q1 <= Q2 <= Q3 <= Q4" in Mathematica (I know that I have 8 cases for the constraints). Daniel Lichtblau was helped me to solve the special case where Q1 = Q2 = Q3 = Q4 but I am sure that I have some more cases to solve. I think these are all the available cases of this constraint 0 <= Q1 <= Q2 <= Q3 <= Q4 if I break down. 1) 0 < Q1 = Q2 = Q3 = Q4 2) 0 < Q1 = Q2 = Q3 < Q4 3) 0 < Q1 = Q2 < Q3 = Q4 4) 0 < Q1 = Q2 < Q3 < Q4 5) 0 < Q1 < Q2 < Q3 < Q4 6) 0 < Q1 < Q2 < Q3 = Q4 7) 0 < Q1 < Q2 = Q3 = Q4 8) 0 < Q1 < Q2 = Q3 < Q4 I have the book by Stephen Wolfram, but it does not seem to be helpful in this regard. If anyone has a good idea how I might do this, let me know via e-mail or posting. Thank you - Dinh N.

Special Case Q1 = Q2 = Q3 = Q4 (This case was solved) ----------- End of problem -------------------------
