Dec 26, 2018 at 19:57 comment added Iosif Pinelis @user64494 : As follows immediately from my answer, the "trivial" solutions $(\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta)$ of the original system are of the form $(x^2,x^3,x^2,x^3)$ for complex $x$. The representative given in your file dropbox.com/s/ul0u4wxzxuyv2jx/modifiedsys.pdf?dl=0 is in this set of solutions, up to some rounding -- corresponding to $x\approx-0.76577$. Is there still something in my answer that makes you not quite happy?
Dec 26, 2018 at 19:33 comment added user64494 Can you kindly describe the solutions of the system from the question which correspond your "the set of "trivial" solutions of the form $(x,x)$ for complex $x$ ", basing your claim?
Dec 26, 2018 at 18:52 comment added Iosif Pinelis @user64494 : I certainly did not claim that the set of all solutions is finite. I only claimed that the set of all "nontrivial" solutions is finite, and this was proved. On the other hand, the set of "trivial" solutions of the form $(x,x)$ for complex $x$ is obviously infinite. As for numerical solvers, one cannot trust any part of their output without rigorous additional examination -- basically, you still need a rigorous proof. So, it may actually be much easier to re-check the proof already given in my answer.
Dec 26, 2018 at 18:15 comment added user64494 If I correctly understand it, you claim a finite set of the solutions whereas the NSolve command dropbox.com/s/ul0u4wxzxuyv2jx/modifiedsys.pdf?dl=0 claims an infinite set of the solutions. Hope I am clear.
Dec 26, 2018 at 18:03 comment added Iosif Pinelis @user64494 : Why? The claim in my answer was that we have a complete set of solutions, and a detailed proof of that claim was given. Do you see any defect in the proof?
Dec 26, 2018 at 17:34 comment added user64494 Sorry, I don't see any complete solution in your answer.
Dec 26, 2018 at 15:55 comment added Iosif Pinelis @user64494 : The many obvious questions about numerical solutions, one of them stated in my previous comment, still remain.
Dec 26, 2018 at 10:55 comment added user64494 Solving numerically the system from the edited question dropbox.com/s/mkvvskm0i0m5mtx/screen26.12.2018.docx?dl=0, I obtain that the solution set is infinite (see dropbox.com/s/ul0u4wxzxuyv2jx/modifiedsys.pdf?dl=0 ).
Dec 26, 2018 at 5:13 comment added user64494 Here dropbox.com/s/6exiv40yikocwg5/sys.pdf?dl=0 is the result obtained with Mathematica and here dropbox.com/s/aqdh72m3cg8lwtg/sys%20in%20maple.pdf?dl=0 is the result in Maple. The DirectSearch is one of the best numerical solvers in the world.
Dec 26, 2018 at 0:23 comment added Iosif Pinelis @user64494 : How can solving numerically ensure that, among other things, you got all the solutions?
Dec 25, 2018 at 21:48 comment added user64494 Solving numerically the original system, both Maple and Mathematica produce 13 different real solutions. Taking into account multiplicity, Mathematica counts 18 solutions (in particular, zero solution is of multiplicity 4 and the solution $(2.45653, -3.85019, 0., 0.)$ is of multiplicity 2 and the solution $(3., 5.19615, 0., 0.)$ is of multiplicity 2).

Dec 25, 2018 at 20:46 comment added Sara yaqob You mean that the solution is (0,0,3, 3 (3)^(1/2))......I don't know hwo I can thank you....Thanks a lot sir for your help
