Eryksun guessed that fsolve was the source of the message. If the line above emits the warning you mentioned then the output most likely is not a solution to the equations. As Eryksun said it could be that your initial guess isn't good or it could be that there is no solution. Another possibility is that you're just not working with a very well-behaved function: there are solutions but the solver wouldn't find them no matter how good your initial guess. In any case while it continues to emit that warning message you cannot trust the results it returns. Try passing full_output=True to get more information e.g.: x, infodict, ier, msg = scipy.optimize.fsolve(..., full_output=True) Then have a look at the infodict, ier and msg variables to see if they tell you more about what happened: http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.optimize.fsolve.html Oscar _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
