Is there a way to solve complex-valued non-linear equations?

Hi guys,

I'm trying to solve a set of complex-valued non-linear equations, but I found that "fsolve" solves only real-valued equations. Is there another function that solves comlpex-valued equations? Or is there any way around it?

Thanks,

You can use fsolve. Split each complex-valued output into two outputs, the real() and imag().

You can do the same sort of thing for each complex-valued input.

Thank you. I tried it but the problem now is that the solver "stopped prematurely" as it exceeded either MaxFunEvals or MaxIter. I increased them to 1e5 and 1e4 respectively, but still the same error occurs.

fsolve in some cases cannot solve the equation. try fzero, fminsearch and fminunc as well. Hopefully, fzero helps you (this function may affect better than others).
