Finding Complex root for the nonlinear equation with single variable

function Sp = f(y)
c=[0.00974404439034699,0.00984082551153513,0.00991280676795526];
t=[1.40,1.70,1.90];
x1=(6+2.3*10^5*1i); 
x2=(7+3*10^-9*1i); 
A1=(y-x1)./(x1-2.*y); % the single variable is y in the equation  
B1=(y-x2)./(x2-2.*y);
Sp=((t.*A1)./(1+c.*A1)+((1-t).*B1)./(1+c.*B1));

end 

hi guys , I'm searching for solution for the mention equation , so that it would have two solution in such way one solution is correct and the other is not !!!!!

((t.*A1)./(1+c.*A1)+((1-t).*B1)./(1+c.*B1))=0 the nonlinear equation

any suggestion method to solve the roots for this equation !!!

"this was not helping at all!!! can i solve it with fzero"

Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

There is no fzero() command that can work. You have a vector of 3 equations that are inconsistent with each other. And if you were to break it up into three different equations, then you would encounter the problem that fzero() can only deal with real-valued functions of a single real-valued variable.

fsolve() can deal with complex valued functions.

A standard trick to convert complex inputs into real inputs is to separate into real and imaginary components, such as

f2 = @(x) x.^2 + 1;
f = @(x) f2(x(1) + 1i*x(2));
fsolve(f, ....)

Hi Ammar,

Since your exercise is a nonlinear equation and thus, it is more appropriate to employ Newton-Raphson method for that you would need to evalaute the derivative of your equation and then solve the system numerically based on Newton-Raphson technique.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Please don't answer your question with a comment.

But the answer is, not you cannot use fzero to find a complex root. fzero ONLY solves for real roots.

Answer 4

[Walter Roberson]

Your function returns three outputs for each input y, and the three outputs each have two complex solutions. There is no single value of y that solves all three values at the same time.

Walter Roberson can you share the fzero command you suggest to use
