Status: New Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Defect Priority-Medium New issue 1439 by smichr: polynomial solution missing real roots http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1439
The equation -1936 - 5056*x - 7592*x**2 + 2704*x**3 - 49*x**4 has two real roots at about 3.6 and 52 but only imaginary roots (and approx 0 at that) are being found. >>> solve(_,x) . .etc... . 3176523*256871224631296524288**(1/2))**(5/12)*(1086740688896/3176523 + 256871224631296524288**(1/2)/117649)**(1/6))] >>> [tmp.evalf() for tmp in _] [.0e-16 + .0e-16*I, .0e-16 + .0e-16*I, -.0e-18 - .0e-18*I, .0e-17 + .0e-17*I] Is the stiffness of this eqn giving the solver problems? /c -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
