Colleagues,
systems of nonlinear equations and inequalities - under general analytical
conditions - can be transformed into global optimization problems that can
be solved numerically. (See e.g. my book 'Global Optimization in Action',
Ch. 4.1.) Of course, such systems may have no solution, infinitely many
solns, and 'anything in between'.
If you are interested in a single particular soln, then try to express the
quality of that soln by an 'objective function' and then you can solve a
std math programming (optimization) problem. For example, you may search
for the soln with minimal least squares error in an inconsistent system, or
you may like to find the soln that is closest to the origin, etc.
(The MathOptimizer Professional User Guide includes an example with
multiple solutions to a system of nonlinear equations, and how to handle
them numerically.)
Regards,
Janos Pinter
