I have a function f[X1,X2], where X1 and X2 are vectors of variables
x1[i] and x2[i], i=1,...,n. I need to solve the problem the following
way. First, I need to solve for X1={X1|D[f[X1,X2],X1]==0}. Then,
substituting X1 into f[.] I shall have f[X1[X2],X2]. I then need to
solve for X2={X2|D[f[X1[X2],X2],X2]==0}. Since function f[.] is very
complicated Solve cannot handle it. I have to use FindRoot. I know I
have to use symbolic solution to a numerical function but I do not know
how exactly. I tried a couple of ways but have not succeeded. Please
advise.
PS. I want to make it clear that I need 2 stage solution, not just 1
stage simultaneous solution to a set of 2n equations.
