Hi,

if I understand correctly, you can numerically calculate X as a function 

of r and you would like to get the inverse r[X]?

The simplest solution is to solve your original equation for r. This 

gives: X->(-gamma r-Pp r-beta r^3-Pp r^3-r^5)/(c+delta r^2+alpha r^4)

You can also do it numerically. Calculate some {X,r} pairs covering the 

region needed, then feed it e.g. to Interpolation to get r[X].

hope this helps, Daniel
