the solution was empty x = [ empty sym ] y = [] z = []

why???????????????????/

[Erik S.]

Can you send a .m file instead, very hard to read the code above. Do you have optimization toolbox?

ok i attached it

[ahmed ashiry]

yas i has

[Erik S.]

Since it is an overdetermined system (more equations than variables) is it a least squars solution you need or what do you mean by solution?

[ahmed ashiry]

i tried to solve it manually by linearized these equation using Taylor's series and then solve using least square X= inv(A'A) A' L but the results was wrong i see the probelm in manual solution is the linearization step and the large estimation process so i want to find x y z using software

Look in the documentation for the function lsqnonlin

It can solve nonlinear least squares problems.
