fsolve yields initial guess as solution to non-linear equation
Show older comments
I am currently trying to solve a non-linear equation using the following program:
clc; format long g;
a=0.5; Eta0=100; t12=1e6; q=2e-7; R=0.001;
x0=8e5;
Px=F1(q,Eta0,a,t12,R,x0)
function Px=F1(q,Eta0,a,t12,R,x0)
A=pi*(R^4)/(8*Eta0); B=4/(3+a); C=0.5*R/t12;
[x,fval]=fsolve(@(x) FX1(x,A,B,C,a),x0);
Px=x;
function fx1=FX1(x,A,B,C,a)
fx1=A*x*(1+B*(C*x)^(a-1))-q;
end
end
But no matter what value of initial guess I choose, the program always gives THAT value as the root of this equation. Here the soultion would be x=1e6, but the program yields any value that I enter as x0, which in this case is 8e5.
I have tested the routine with solutions that are smaller numbers (order of magnitude of (1-10), but when the solutions becomes a relatively large number this problem occurs.
