Hi I would like to solve a system of nonlinear equations below using dfsane function mn <- 142.36; vr <- 9335.69 ; sk <- 0.81; kur <- 0.25 test_fn <- function(p) { f <- rep(NA, length(p)) f[1] <- p[1]*(p [2]+p[3])- mn f[2] <- - vr + 2*p[1]*p[2]*p[3]*(p[4]-1)+p[1]*(p[2]+p[3])^2 f[3] <- - sk + (p[1]*(p [2]+p[3])^3*(p[1]+1)*(p[1]+2)-6*p[1]*p[2]*p[3]*(p[2]+ p[3])*(1- p[4])*( p [1]+1))/(p[1]*(p[2]+p[3])^2*(p[2]+p[3])-2*p[1]*p[2]*p[3]*(1-p[4]))^1.5 f[4] <- - kur + (p[1]*(p[2]+p[3])^4*(p[1]+3)*(p[1]+2)*(p[1]+1) -12*p[1]*p[2]*p[3]*(1-p[4])*(p[2]+p[3])^2*(p[1]+2)*(p[1]+1)+12*p[1]*p[2]^2*p[3]^2*(1-p[4])^2*(p[1]+1))/(p[1]*(p[2]+p[3])^2*(p[2]+p[3])-2*p[1]*p[2]*p[3]*(1-p[4]))^2 f } p0 <- c(1.3, 50,60,0.8) dfsane(par=p0, fn = test_fn, control=list(trace=FALSE)) and got this output > dfsane(par=p0, fn = test_fn, control=list(trace=FALSE)) $par [1] 2.1327328 6.3213205 60.3580481 0.9097743 $residual [1] 0.4251058 $fn.reduction [1] 4833.46 $feval [1] 140 $iter [1] 137 $convergence [1] 5 $message [1] "Lack of improvement in objective function" My question is how to improve the solution if I want to put some constraint for the parameters such as p[1], p[2] and p[3] > 0.0001 and -1<p[4]<1.
