$title CNS model with globally unique solution (cns07,SEQ=97) $onText The following model has a globally unique solution even though it is nonlinear and simultaneous. Not all solvers will recognize that the solution is globally unique (hardly any will). The Jacobian of the model exp(x1) +1 -1 exp(x2) has the determinant exp(x1)*exp(x2)+1 and is therefore always strictly positive (bounded away from zero) and if a solution exist it is therefore unique. $offText $if not set TESTTOL $set TESTTOL 1e-6 scalar tol / %TESTTOL% /; $if not set SLOWOK $set SLOWOK 0 scalar slowOK 'slow solves are OK: just abort.noerror in this case' / %SLOWOK% /; scalars rhs1, rhs2; rhs1 = exp(-1) + (-1); rhs2 = -(-1) + exp(-1); variable x1, x2; equation e1, e2; e1 .. exp(x1) + x2 =e= rhs1; e2 .. -x1 + exp(x2) =e= rhs2; model cns07 / all /; option limrow = 0, limcol = 0; solve cns07 using cns; abort.noError$[slowOK and %solveStat.resourceInterrupt% = cns07.solvestat] 'Solve too slow'; abort$(cns07.solvestat <> %solveStat.normalCompletion% or (cns07.modelstat <> %modelStat.solvedUnique%) and (cns07.modelstat <> %modelStat.solved%)) 'bad return codes', cns07.solvestat, cns07.modelstat; abort$(abs(x1.l+1) > tol) 'bad x1.l'; abort$(abs(x2.l+1) > tol) 'bad x2.l'; abort$(abs(e1.l-rhs1) > tol) 'bad e1.l'; abort$(abs(e2.l-rhs2) > tol) 'bad e2.l';
