Extract the real solutions among many which are complex?

Posted 6 years ago

Here is the equation and the solution: I want the two real solutions.

In[2]:= soln1[a_, b_, c_, \[Xi]_, \[Lambda]_, \[Phi]_, rn_] := 
  NSolve[\[Rho]^2 + 
      2 \[Rho] (a Sin[\[Theta]] Cos[\[Phi]] + 
         b Sin[\[Theta]] Sin[\[Phi]] + c Cos[\[Theta]]) + a^2 + b^2 + 
      c^2 - rn^2 == 
     0 && \[Rho] - \[Lambda] rn Cos[\[Theta] + \[Xi] Cos[\[Phi]]]^2 ==
      0, {\[Rho], \[Theta]}];

In[8]:= ss = soln1[.5, .5, .5, .2, .5, .1, 1]

During evaluation of In[8]:= NSolve::ifun: Inverse functions are being used by NSolve, so some solutions may not be found; use Reduce for complete solution information.

Out[8]= {{\[Rho] -> -2.51366 - 3.61652 I, \[Theta] -> 
   1.8313 - 1.79756 I}, {\[Rho] -> -2.51366 + 3.61652 I, \[Theta] -> 
   1.8313 + 1.79756 I}, {\[Rho] -> -0.146207 - 
    0.0312241 I, \[Theta] -> -1.82025 + 
    0.520643 I}, {\[Rho] -> -0.146207 + 
    0.0312241 I, \[Theta] -> -1.82025 - 0.520643 I}, {\[Rho] -> 
   0.152974, \[Theta] -> 0.785684}, {\[Rho] -> 
   0.311045 - 0.210578 I, \[Theta] -> 
   2.25043 - 0.388346 I}, {\[Rho] -> 
   0.311045 + 0.210578 I, \[Theta] -> 
   2.25043 + 0.388346 I}, {\[Rho] -> 0.417435, \[Theta] -> -0.617471}}

Simply add Real in NSolve:

soln1[a_, b_, c_, \[Xi]_, \[Lambda]_, \[Phi]_, rn_] := 
  NSolve[\[Rho]^2 + 
      2 \[Rho] (a Sin[\[Theta]] Cos[\[Phi]] + 
         b Sin[\[Theta]] Sin[\[Phi]] + c Cos[\[Theta]]) + a^2 + b^2 + 
      c^2 - rn^2 == 
     0 && \[Rho] - \[Lambda] rn Cos[\[Theta] + \[Xi] Cos[\[Phi]]]^2 ==
      0, {\[Rho], \[Theta]}, Reals];
soln1[1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/10, 1]

Thanks for your suggestion. It has problems as follows. (1) The original soln1 gives the following results:

    soln1[a_, b_, c_, \[Xi]_, \[Lambda]_, \[Phi]_, rn_] := 
      NSolve[\[Rho]^2 + 
          2 \[Rho] (a Sin[\[Theta]] Cos[\[Phi]] + 
             b Sin[\[Theta]] Sin[\[Phi]] + c Cos[\[Theta]]) + a^2 + b^2 + 
          c^2 - rn^2 == 
         0 && \[Rho] - \[Lambda] rn Cos[\[Theta] + \[Xi] Cos[\[Phi]]]^2 ==
          0, {\[Rho], \[Theta]}];

    In[8]:= ss = soln1[.5, .5, .5, .2, .5, .1, 1]

To select the real solutions from the list of all solutions just add the following line

ssReal=Cases[{\[Rho], \[Theta]} /. ss, {_Real, _Real}]

The rules explain how to format your code properly. If you do not format code, it may become corrupted and useless to other members. Please EDIT your post and make sure code blocks start on a new paragraph and look framed and colored like this.

int = Integrate[1/(x^3 - 1), x];

Fantastic, it worked! I got:

In[7]:= ssReal = Cases[{\[Rho], \[Theta]} /. ss, {_Real, _Real}]

Out[7]= {{0.152974, 0.785684}, {0.417435, -0.617471}}

Thank you and others who responded to my problem.
