Re: Re: Equation - problem


Colleagues,

This problem (as well as many similar ones) may have multiple solutions, as 
stated in my earlier comment on nonlinear eqns.

Here is another solution, calculated using l2-norm in the error (objective) 
function and applying MathOptimizer Professional:

{x -> 0.7446861199, q -> 3.7724953212, r -> 1.4900166563}; the 
corresponding l2-error is 9.046868354683253 x 10^-23.

Regards,
Janos
