Hi Danial, Andres Guzmanand and Group members,
Thanks indeed for a good response from Danial and Andres. This is my
first experience to find such a cooperative group.
I did try to solve these non-linear equations doing some modifications.
I put 2 parameters r1 and r2 equal to 1 and solved rest of the equations
for 3 parameters using FindRoot function (as mentioned by Andres).
Below are the codes in the input form. Thanks for Danial to give me good
advice and now really easy for every one to understand codes in the
input formate. Next I'm trying to make these codes as generalized in the
following manner and strongly appreciate if any one can help me in this
regard.
1): I need to use a loop function for r1 and r2 values with an increment
of 0.1 and range for 0 to 1, it should come up with an array or list of
10 values for b1, b2 and p. I did try it many ways, but mathematica
could not accept it.
2): After having values for all 5 parameters (r1,r2,b1,b2 and p), I need
to put all these values in the main equation " LMN" to get another list
or array for LMN values . Individually I used all parameter values, I
got LMN value but mathematica don't accept if I give all values in the
form of list or array and do it all one time.
3): After having LMN values, I would like plot a 3D plot or 3D contour
plot / surface plot with array / or list values for r1,r2 and LMN.
Strongly appreciate if some one can share his/her thoughts.
Regards
Shafiq
===================================================
n = 4
x1 = {1, 2, 3, 4}
x2 = {1.7, 3.8, 4.9, 4.6}
r1 = 1
r2 = 1
LMN = n*Log[p] + n*Log[p + 1] + n*Log[b1] + n*Log[r1] + n*Log[b2] +
n*Log[r2] +
(b1 - 1)*Sum[Log[x1[[j]]], {j, 1, n}] +
(b2 - 1)*Sum[Log[x2[[j]]], {j, 1, n}] -
(p + 2)*Sum[Log[1 + r1*x1[[j]]^b1 + r2*x2[[j]]^b2], {j, 1, n}]
Eqn1 = D[L, b1] == 0
Eqn2 = D[L, b2] == 0
Eqn3 = D[L, p] == 0
FindRoot[{Eqn1, Eqn2, Eqn3}, {b1, 10}, {b2, 10}, {p, 10}]

Hi Shafiq.
there is something wrong in your code. What should:"=E2=88=91" mean? I
think "Sum". Note that it is better if you change your code to InputForm
before posting it. This is done by selecting and then menu: Cell/Convert
To/InputForm.
Further, your set up of the equations is wrong. What you wrote is:
Short Form of drivative == explicite Form of derivative
(D[L,r1]==...), what shlould give True. Note that the form: D[L,r1] is
only used in differential equations. In your case you would write:
eqns={ explicite form of derivative == 0, ...}
Solve[eqns,vars]
