MATLAB: I am solving 20 nonlinear equation using fsolve to find 20 variables’ value. But i previously know one of variable’s value. That variable is x(17) in eqn F(17). x(17)=1200. Based on this fixed variable i want to find remaining variables’ value.

how to solve 20 nonlinear equations with 1 unknown variable and 19 unknown variablesMATLAB and Simulink Student Suite

Best Answer

x(17) does not appear in your function, so setting a particular value for it does not make any difference.
What does make a difference is that you have 20 equations in 19 variables (since x(17) is unused). That is either going to have no solutions or an infinite number of solutions. My tests suggest that this particular set of equations has no consistent solutions.
