Solve doesn't give an answer with system of equations


I have to solve the following system of equations:


Solve[{k*Sech[d]*Cos[b]/Sqrt[A^2 + B^2] == 1, 
k*Sech[d]*Sin[b]/Sqrt[A^2 + B^2] == 0, A*k*Tanh[d]/(A^2 + B^2)+c1 == 1,

B*k*Tanh[d]/(A^2 + B^2)+c2 == 0, k*Sech[k + d]*Cos[a + b]/Sqrt[A^2 + B^2] == 1, 
k*Sech[k + d]*Sin[a + b]/Sqrt[A^2 + B^2] == 0.1, 
A*k*Tanh[k + d]/(A^2 + B^2)+c1 == 1.1, 
B*k*Tanh[k + d]/(A^2 + B^2)+c2 == 0}, {k, d, a, b, A, B, c1, c2}]

but Solve will just compute forever and give no result. I've tried also with Reduce and NSolve, but with no luck. I can use approximated answers, so I've tried to use the Taylor series of the second order of the functions Sech Tanh Cos and Sin, but still Solve couldn't give me an answer.


I there something else I could try?


Thank you.



Answer



Notice that most of your transcendal functions are neatly separated into pairs of equations.



This will get you most of the way to your solution


sys={k*Sech[d]*Cos[b]/Sqrt[A^2+B^2]==1, k*Sech[d]*Sin[b]/Sqrt[A^2+B^2]==0, 
  A*k*Tanh[d]/(A^2+B^2)+c1==1, B*k*Tanh[d]/(A^2+B^2)+c2==0, 
  k*Sech[k+d]*Cos[a+b]/Sqrt[A^2+B^2]==1, k*Sech[k+d]*Sin[a+b]/Sqrt[A^2+B^2]==1/10, 
  A*k*Tanh[k+d]/(A^2+B^2)+c1==11/10, B*k*Tanh[k+d]/(A^2+B^2)+c2==0};
sol=Eliminate[sys, {Sech[d], Tanh[d], Sech[k+d], Tanh[k+d]}]

which instantly tells you


(* B==0 && c2==0 && Cos[a+b]==10 Sin[a+b] && Sin[b]==0 && A!=0 *)


Follow that with


sys /. ToRules[sol] /. True -> Sequence[]

which instantly tells you


(* {(k Cos[b] Sech[d])/Sqrt[A^2] == 1,
    (10 k Sech[d+k] Sin[a+b])/Sqrt[A^2]==1,
       (k Sech[d+k] Sin[a+b])/Sqrt[A^2]==1/10,
     c1+(k Tanh[d])/A==1,
     c1+(k Tanh[d+k])/A==11/10}*)


Notice one of those equations is obviously redundant and can be eliminated. Then notice c1 can then be eliminated giving even one fewer equation. Then notice that information from the first step is telling you that b is a multiple of Pi and Cos[b] is either +1 or -1.


If you make use of all this information then you might be able to use Reduce to get to the final solution.

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...
