Hi,
I have the following problem :
I would like to solve this equation system but matlab doesn't find any solutions by sending the following message : Empty sym: 0-by-1
Do i need to adapt the code in a certain way or this system really doesn't have any solutions ?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Benoit

Why there is the comma?
3,981
Post your code (using Insert a Line of Code button) not the screen shot

The comma is causing the problem. You are effectively creating four equations,
3
981==EXPRESSION
10*pi==EXPRESSION
6283185.307==EXPRESSION
The first of those expressions, 3, cannot be solved to be equal to zero, so the solve() fails.

I multiplied by the denominators and squared to get rid of the square roots.
Your system seems to have 4 (complex-valued) solutions.
syms Cs C2 Rl
R1 = 1000;
gm = 10;
eqns = [3.981*(gm*(2*Rl*C2+R1*Cs)+Cs) == gm*Rl*Cs*(1-gm*R1),...
(10*pi*(gm*(2*Rl*C2+R1*Cs)+Cs))^2==2*gm*Rl*C2*Cs*(gm*R1+1),...
6283185.307^2*(Rl*C2*Cs*(1+R1*gm))==2*gm];
S = solve(eqns,[Cs C2 Rl]);

double(S.Cs)
ans =

eqns_orig = [3.981 == gm*Rl*Cs*(1-gm*R1)/(gm*(2*Rl*C2+R1*Cs)+Cs),...

Thank for your answer.
It is now solving the system but i shouldn't be obtaining complex solutions so i think there is a problem in my equations.
But thanks for the correction.
