Possible bug in Solve function?












11














In 11.3.0 for Microsoft Windows (64-bit) (March 7, 2018) writing:



f[w_, x_, y_, z_] := w*x^2*y^3 - z*(w^2 + x^2 + y^2 - 1)



eqn = {D[f[w, x, y, z], w] == 0, 

       D[f[w, x, y, z], x] == 0, 

       D[f[w, x, y, z], y] == 0, 

       D[f[w, x, y, z], z] == 0};



sol = Solve[eqn];



Table[eqn /. sol[[n]], {n, Length[sol]}]


I get:




{{True, True, True, True},
{True, True, True, True},
{True, True, True, True},
{True, True, True, True},
{True, True, True, True},
{True, True, True, True},

{True, True, True, True},
{True, True, True, True},
{False, True, True, False},
{True, True, True, True},
{True, True, True, True}}




from which there are four wrong solutions.



Am I wrong or is it a Solve bug?

Thanks for asking! In version 9.0 only 16 solutions are returned and they are all valid. In version 10.2 there are 20 solutions, with the extra 4 all being invalid. Contragulations! I think you found a bug. You may want to click "Help", then "Give Feedback...", and then fill out the form in your browser to report.



As another answer notes, you can always try Reduce instead which may give better results in some cases, but Solve is usually what you want.

You can use Reduce



f[w_, x_, y_, z_] := w*x^2*y^3 - z*(w^2 + x^2 + y^2 - 1)

eqn = {D[f[w, x, y, z], w] == 0, D[f[w, x, y, z], x] == 0, 

   D[f[w, x, y, z], y] == 0, D[f[w, x, y, z], z] == 0};

red = Reduce[eqn, Backsubstitution -> True]



$left(z=0land x=0land w=-sqrt{1-y^2}right)lor left(z=0land x=0land w=sqrt{1-y^2}right)lor left(z=0land y=0land
w=-sqrt{1-x^2}right)lor left(z=0land y=0land w=sqrt{1-x^2}right)lor (z=0land y=-1land x=0land w=0)lor (z=0land y=0land x=0land
w=-1)lor (z=0land y=0land x=0land w=1)lor (z=0land y=1land x=0land w=0)lor left(z=-frac{1}{4 sqrt{3}}land y=-frac{1}{sqrt{2}}land
x=-frac{1}{sqrt{3}}land w=frac{1}{sqrt{6}}right)lor left(z=-frac{1}{4 sqrt{3}}land y=-frac{1}{sqrt{2}}land x=frac{1}{sqrt{3}}land
w=frac{1}{sqrt{6}}right)lor left(z=-frac{1}{4 sqrt{3}}land y=frac{1}{sqrt{2}}land x=-frac{1}{sqrt{3}}land

  • Yes, of course, I had already tried. I was almost certain it was a bug from Solve, so I pointed out. Thank you very much anyway, always very kind!

    I believe Solve use the function Reduce under the hood. when you remove Backsubstitution -> True, you'll find implicit solution, somehow Solve messes up somewhere and it is definitely a bug..

Code is as below: <div class="page-title product-title"> <h1><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getName(), 'name') ?></h1> </div> <div class="codigoinmetro"> <h2><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getName(), 'registroinmetro') ?></h2> </div> php attrib...
