[R] Solve equations

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Try brute force:

> f <- function(x) {
+ V <- x[1]; W <- x[2]; X <- x[3]; Y <- x[4]; Z <- x[5]
+ if (!(V < W && W < X && Y < Z)) return(Inf)
+ ((0.007 - 2*V*Z)^2 +
+ (0.03 - W*(Y+Z))^2 +
+ (0.034 - X*(Y+Z))^2 +
+ (X - W+V)^2 +
+ (0.013 - (X+W)*Y +(X-W)*Z))^2
+ }
> s <- 1:10/10
> g <- expand.grid(V = s, W = s, X = s, Y = s, Z = s)
> idx <- which.min(apply(g, 1, f))
> idx
[1] 10541
> g[idx,]
        V   W   X   Y   Z
10541 0.1 0.5 0.6 0.1 0.2
> as.vector(f(g[idx,]))
[1] 3.8025e-08
