Thanks Andrzej,

I did wrote with the correct syntax when I put the system in Mathematica. I 
did find a solution though. I just run a loop with do and substitute for x, 
a, and F, and I found out that the solution is empty. At the beginning I 
thought that a Mathematica could do something like this, but then I realised 
that I was asking too much. I find this software extraordinary though. Thank 
you anyway for your answer.

Maurizio.
