Is there a way I can figure out what values of the coefficients of some system of non-linear equations makes the system inconsistent? Take the following system of equations as an example. The unknowns are $(y_0,..., y_8)$. I do not have fixed values for the coefficients $a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,u,v,w$, so I just want to know which values of $a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,u,v,w$ make the system inconsistent. Note that in the example I am using the system is underdetermined as I have 9 unknowns and only 8 equations. $$\begin{array}\\ u*y_5 + e*y_7 - e + b*y_2*y_0 + c*y_2 + w*y_0 =0\\ d*y_5 + f*y_7 - f + a*y_2 + v*y_0 = 0\\ u*y_6 - w*y_7 + b*y_3*y_0 + b*y_2*y_1 + c*y_3 + w*y_1 = 0\\ u*y_8 - c*y_7 + b*y_4*y_0 + c*y_4 =0\\ d*y_8 - a*y_7 + a*y_4 = 0\\ d*y_6 - v*y_7 + a*y_3 + v*y_1 = 0\\ b*y_7 - b*y_4*y_1 = 0\\ y_1 = 0\\ \end{array}$$ Any hints or help would be highly appreciated.
