Hello everyone,

I have 5 equations (fa,fb,fc,fk,fv) and 5 variables (V0,A0,A1,A2,k1) and I want to solve them numerically. Problem is my inability to set properly intervals and starting values. 

Here is my command: fsolve({fa,fb,fc,fk,fv},{V0,A0,A1,A2,k1});

If I run it just like this, I get some values, lets say V0=0.00045 etc.But when I set range for V0 like this:

fsolve({fa,fb,fc,fk,fv},{V0=0.0004..0.0005,A0,A1,A2,k1});

I get this:

Error, (in fsolve) fsolve cannot solve on V0 = 0.4e-3 .. 0.5e-3

I used interval 0.0004..0.0005 only to prove that there must be the wrong syntax, because obviously 0.0004<0.00045<0.0005. In reality i need interval 0.0001..0.0002 and it is also necessary.to set some initial values (A0=0.0023) but first I need to solve my problem with syntax.

Any advice ?

Hello everyone !

I have several values loaded into Maple as a matrix from a .txt file (output of my measurement).

I measured power in dependence on time.

Here is an example of my txt file in which the first column represents the time and the second column represents the force:

29.04 997.54
29.06 998.83
29.08 999.79
29.10 1000.76
29.12 1001.72
29.14 1003.01
29.16 1003.81
29.18 1004.94

From 3624 values I need to get specific amount of values, lets say 3000, while keeping the course. We could call it a dilution I guess.

Here is a simple illustration of the problem:

So I am asking you to help me find out some function to dilute measured values while keeping the curve.

I will be grateful for any advice.
