Worked example

Algebraic residual constraint — worked example

The Studio example connects the unknown to the residual x² − 4 and starts from x=1. The native nonlinear solve reaches x=2 with residual zero; an inconsistent constraint stops with a diagnostic.

Connected concepts

Limits and interpretation

  • Explicit unknown with configured initial guess and connected residual. Dense damped Newton solution; inconsistent/singular residuals fail. This is not singular-DAE support.
  • Shapes and element types are explicit. Values must be finite; automatic reshaping and unit conversion are not performed.

Reference basis

This software operation and its numerical conventions are defined by the public contract and worked example; no external research result is claimed.

Implementation sources

This reference follows the public interface and locally verified numerical checks for an upcoming release.
