Jorge,
You can use the package "BB" to try and solve this problem.
I have re-written your functions a little bit.

library(BB)
p0 <- runif(4, -1,0)
ans1 <- dfsane(par=p0, fn=myfn)
ans2 <- spg(par=p0, fn=myfn.opt)
ans1
ans2
Note that the above does not produce a redual of zero, so the system can't
be solved exactly. I tried a large number of random starting values without
improving upon the solution provided by "spg". So, you may want to check
your system for its correctness.
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

Subject: [R] How to solve a non-linear system of equations using R
Dear R-list members,
I've had a hard time trying to solve a non-linear system (nls) of equations
which structure for the equation i, i=1,...,4, is as follows:
f_i(d_1,d_2,d_3,d_4)-k_i(l,m,s) = 0 (1)
In the expression above, both f_i and k_i are known functions and l, m and s
are known constants. I would like to estimate the vector d=(d_1,d_2,d_3,d_4)
which is solution of (1). Functions in R to estimate f_i-k_i are at the end
of this message.
Any help/suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jorge
