Hi:

I have a simultaneous set of equations in two variables, namely, s1 and s2.  See below.

s1 =.; s2 =.; dpi1s1 =.; dpi2s2 =.;
dpi1s1 = 0.3125 - 0.0645 s1^2 + 0.0083205 s1^3 + 0.125 s2^2 +
   s1 (-0.26 + (-0.03225 + 0.0645 s2) s2);
dpi2s2 = 0.3125 +
   s2 (-2.4375 + (-0.25 + 0.0645 s1) s1 + (-0.375 + 0.5 s2) s2);


NSolve yields 7 pairs but I want to pick the pair(s) where both s1 and s2 are in (0, 1) domain. I am using a laborious method as follow, but can I get this in one step? Thanks.

trichy

soln = NSolve[dpi1s1 == 0 && dpi2s2 == 0, {s1, s2}, Reals];
list = {s1, s2} /. soln;
list1 = {{0, 0}};
Do[If[list[[i, 1]] > 0,
   If[list[[i, 1]] < 1, If[list[[i, 2]] > 0, If[list[[i, 2]] < 1,
      list1[[1, 1]] = list[[i, 1] ]]]]], {i, Length[list]}];
Do[If[list[[i, 1]] > 0,
   If[list[[i, 1]] < 1, If[list[[i, 2]] > 0, If[list[[i, 2]] < 1,
      list1[[1, 2]] = list[[i, 2] ]]]]], {i, Length[list]}];
s1 = list1[[1, 1]]; s2 = list1[[1, 2]];
{s1, s2}
