How to solve multivariate equation systems programmatically?
I am trying to solve a system of multivariate equations, which are the result of some Java code. Neither the form, nor the number of variables is known before runtime. An example would be
(I) (e-a*d*e-b*d*e+2*b*d*f+2*b*d*e*g)/(-1+a*d+b*d)+f ==…

Solve underdetermined system of equations in matlab
I have a system of under-determined linear equations Ax = b (i.e. more unknowns than equations) that I would like so solve in matlab.
I know that this would usually mean an infinite number of solutions, but I also know the solutions should be…

Solving in a efficient way a symbolic linear system of equations on MATLAB/Maple/etc
Basically I have a linear system of equations, where every coefficient is a variable. For example, for a 2x2 system:
a11*x1 + a12*x2 = f1
a21*x1 + a22*x2 = f2
x1, x2 = .... (symbolic expression with a11, a12, a21, a22, f1, f2)
I tried solving it…

Choose which variable to solve for (Python root finding using fsolve)
Scipy offers many useful tools for root finding, notably fsolve. Typically a program has the following form:
def eqn(x, a, b):
return x + 2*a - b**2
fsolve(eqn, x0=0.5, args = (a,b))
and will find a root for eqn(x) = 0 given some arguments a…

LAPACK dgetrs vs dgesv
In LAPACK documentation,
dgesv Solves a general system of linear equations AX=B.
dgetrs Solves a general system of linear equations AX=B, AT X=B or AH X=B, using the LU factorization computed by DGETRF.
What is the difference ? Also, I made…

How to use optaplanner to solve a nonlinear constrained multivariable equation - Java
I want to solve a nonlinear multivariable equation with discrete values like this one:
x*y + z + t - 10 = 0
with constraints:
10 < x < 100
etc..
I did some research and I believe optaplanner is the way to go. I downloaded the package from their…

Height of a full binary tree
How to solve below equation for the height of a full binary tree, which contains n number of nodes?
n=2^(h+1)-1
I got the answer as,
n = 2^(h+1)-1
n+(-2^(h+1)+1) = 2^(h+1)-1 + (-2^(h+1)+1)
n-2^(h+1)+1 = 0
h =…
