MaxExtraConditions
MaxExtraConditions
is an option to Solve and related functions that specifies how many extra equational conditions on continuous parameters to allow in solutions that are given.
- Solve gives generic solutions only. Solutions that are valid only when continuous parameters satisfy equations are removed. Additional solutions can be obtained by using nondefault settings for MaxExtraConditions.
- The following settings can be used:
-
| 0 (None) | include solutions that require no equations on continuous parameters |
| k | include solutions that require up to k equations on continuous parameters |
| Infinity | include all solutions |
| All | include all solutions and all conditions |
| Automatic | include solutions that require the minimal number of equations on continuous parameters |
- With the setting MaxExtraConditions->All, all conditions are included. Other settings will exclude inequations and NotElement conditions on continuous parameters.
This system has no generic solutions:
| Out[1]= |  |
This gives solutions that require the minimal number of equational conditions:
| Out[2]= |  |
This gives solutions with arbitrary conditions on parameters:
| Out[3]= |  |
You can specify the maximal number of equations on parameters to allow:
| Out[4]= |  |
| Out[5]= |  |
| Out[6]= |  |
