second analytical solution of implicit equation
Show older comments
When I do the command
F = M*exp(-M^2/2)==(2.72498/r)^2*exp(1.5-2*(2.72498/r));
solve(F, M)
it returns only 1 analytical solution of the two. Is there a way to get the expression for the second solution? When the function is plotted implicitly you can see that it goes like the figure.
How to get to an expression for the other branches? I succeeded in plotting the braches seperatly, but I need the expression for further calculation and plotting of other values containing these M and r, composed of solutions of the different branches.

It returns two solutions in r, and one solution in M —
syms M r
F = M*exp(-M^2/2)==(2.72498/r)^2*exp(1.5-2*(2.72498/r));
M_sol = solve(F, M)
r_sol = solve(F, r)
.

This is the same as the solution proposed by Star Strider:
syms M r
EQN = M*exp(-M^2/2)==(2.72498/r)^2*exp(1.5-2*(2.72498/r));
Solution_M =solve(EQN,M,'IgnoreAnalyticConstraints',true)
Solution_M =solve(EQN, r,'IgnoreAnalyticConstraints',true)
I believe you are plotting ‘M’ as a funciton of ‘r’ however it likely does not have an analytic solution. In the lambertw argument, it is a function of
and more generally,
, however I doubt that it is possible to factor it further. A numeric solution is the only option.
syms M r
F = M*exp(-M^2/2)==(2.72498/r)^2*exp(1.5-2*(2.72498/r));
Fc(r,M) = M*exp(-M^2/2) - ((2.72498/r)^2*exp(1.5-2*(2.72498/r)));
M_sol = solve(F, M)
Mr_sol = solve(M_sol,r)
r_sol = solve(F, r)
