Today I installed Scilab 5.4.0 into a new workstation. OS: Windows 7 Pro x64 When I tried to run old code from my old machine I got this message { !--error 999 Impossible to load parallel.dll library: The specified module could not be found. } even if I tried to run

[Scilab-users] root calculation

2012-11-05 Thread Paul Carrico
Dear all, This a stupid question, but how can I solve directly in, Scilab an equation such as : 0.403*X^(-0.121) + 60.5*X^(-0.73) - 0.1839 = 0 ? Is-it necessary to code a function ? from memory : dichotomy method, secant method, Brent one etc. . Regards Paul

Hi, This is a nonlinear equation, for which we are searching a zero. The fsolve function is designed for this purpose: http://help.scilab.org/fsolve Notice that there might not be a solution. This is why the algorithm is an optimization problem, where the square norm of f(x) is minimized.

All, Thanks for the feedback ... ... a basic plot shows the curve is monotonic (see attachment) ; I should plot a 3D curve in order to study the influence of the exponents for example to verify there's one and only one root ... ... I've to code a fast function to solve this kind of equation
