Fsolve- equation solved, inaccuracy [possible

19 views (last 30 days)
This is my function:
function F = root3d(x, alpha_1, alpha_2, beta_a1, beta_a2, beta_c1, beta_c2, gama_1, gama_2, theta_1, theta_2)
F(1) = alpha_1*x(1) - x(7)^-2;
F(2) = 1000 - x(2) - (x(7)/(alpha_1^2));
F(3) = (x(10)*(((x(9)/x(8))*(beta_a1/(1-beta_a1)))^(1-beta_a1))/(gama_1*x(3)));
F(4) = (x(10)*(((((1-beta_a1)/beta_a1)*(x(8)/x(9)))^beta_a1)/(gama_1*x(5))));
F(5) = (x(11)*(((x(9)/x(8))*(beta_c1/(1-beta_c1)))^(1-beta_c1))/(theta_1*x(4)));
F(6) = (x(11)*(((x(8)/x(9))*((1-beta_c1)/beta_c1))^(beta_c1))/(theta_1*x(6)));
F(7) = x(7)*x(10) -x(8)*x(3)-x(9)*x(5);
F(8) = x(5)+x(6)-650;
F(9) = x(3)+x(4)-650;
F(10) = x(1)-x(10);
F(11) = x(2)-x(11);
F(12) = alpha_2*x(12) - x(18)^-2;
F(13) = 1000 - x(13) - (x(18)/(alpha_2^2));
F(14) = (x(21)*(((x(20)/x(19))*(beta_a2/(1-beta_a2)))^(1-beta_a2))/(gama_2*x(14)));
F(15) = (x(21)*(((((1-beta_a2)/beta_a2)*(x(19)/x(20)))^beta_a2)/(gama_2*x(16))));
F(16) = (x(22)*(((x(20)/x(19))*(beta_c2/(1-beta_c2)))^(1-beta_c2))/(theta_2*x(15)));
F(17) = (x(22)*(((x(19)/x(20))*((1-beta_c2)/beta_c2))^(beta_c2))/(theta_2*x(17)));
F(18) = x(18)*x(21) -x(19)*x(14)-x(20)*x(16);
F(19) = x(16)+x(17)-650;
F(20) = x(14)+x(15)-650;
F(21) = x(12)-x(21);
F(22) = x(13)-x(22)
end
And my code is this:
alpha_1 = 0.1;
beta_a1 = 0.2;
beta_c1 = 0.5;
theta_1 = 0.4;
gama_1 = 0.2;
alpha_2 = 0.1;
beta_a2 = 0.2;
beta_c2 = 0.25;
theta_2 = 0.4;
gama_2 = 0.2
x0 = [70,70,70,70,70,70,70,70,70,70,70,70,70,70,70,70,70,70,70,70,70,70];
options=optimset('disp','iter','LargeScale','off','TolFun',.001,'MaxIter',100000,'MaxFunEvals',100000);
[SS, fval, exitflag, output]=fsolve(@(x) root3d(x,alpha_1,alpha_2, beta_a1, beta_a2, beta_c1, beta_c2, theta_1, theta_2, gama_1, gama_2),x0,options);
SS
However I get this message in Matlab- Equation solved, inaccuracy possible.
The vector of function values is near zero, as measured by the value
of the function tolerance. However, the last step was ineffective.

Can you give me some ideas that I can try? Thanks in advance !

It doesn't appear that the thetas or gamas can have any effect on the solution. They simply scale the right hand sides of F([3:6,14;17]) which will have no effect on a set of homogeneous equations.

But then, does it mean that it should not be included or is it creating any issue? These equations are coming from a set of optimization problems.

Hi,
This problem can be arrived if fsolve found a point where sum of squares of function values is less than the square root of the FunctionTolerance. This means the optimization should stop at this step however, the sum of squares changed very little in the last step even though gradient of the sum was larger than OptimalityTolerance (that is the first order condition to stop the optimization process). Thus, this suggests that the point found out by fsolve is not near an actual solution. This can happen if the optimization function is not smooth or fsolve have arrived at a Local minimum.
It’s suggested to proceed with the step given in Local Minimum Possible to check whether the solver has succeeded in finding a solution. Also, the exitflag gives good indication of where the solver has stopped.

So, I am getting an exitflag of 3 or 4. Does that mean that I don't have a solution?

So, the answer needs to be positive- may be in tens or hundreds- I tried changing parameters and initial values, however few of my variables are always close to zero which is not correct- can anyone suggest me something that I can try?
