Just wanted to mention that the caracas package *may* be better at solving this problem Best Søren

The code is related to solve algebraic systems. > eqthermo = {h0 == h + hd + hga, d0 == d + hd, ga0 == ga + hga, kga == > hga / (h * ga), kd == hd / (h * d)}; > > (* IDA HD*) > sthdIDAcacheHD[fkd_, fkga_, fh0_, fd0_] := sthdIDAcacheHD[fkd, fkga, > fh0, fd0] = > Module[{eliHD, solvHD}, > eliHD = > Eliminate[ > eqthermo /. {d0 -> fd0, h0 -> fh0, kd -> fkd, kga -> > fkga}, {h, d, hga, ga}]; > solvHD = hd /. NSolve[eliHD, hd]; > Return[solvHD]; > ]; I tried to use the Ryacas package. However, I'm struggling with the Elimination step. Within this step a system of equations: 0.3==h+hd+hga,0.4==d+hd,ga0==ga+hga,0.2==hga/(ga h),0.1==hd/(d h) is transformed to: -12.+1040. hd+2575. hd^2-250. hd^3==ga0 hd (-200.+500. hd). My question is whether someone has experience with yacas and can tell me how to do this step in R. Beyond that, I would be grateful for every hint how to transfer this into R.
