Non-existence of a generic solution to system of nonlinear equations












0












$begingroup$


I have the following system of nonlinear equations:



$f_1(x_1,..,x_m,y) =0$



$...$



$f_n(x_1,..,x_m,y) =0$



where $f_i(cdot)$ is a nonlinear, (infinitely) differentiable equation (but not polynomial), $x_1,..,x_m$ are the unknowns, $y$ is a vector of parameters, and $n>mgeq 4$, so the number of equations ($n$) is bigger than the number of unknowns ($m$).



I want to prove either that a solution to this system does not exist, or if a solution does exist, then it is unstable in the sense that if $y$ is perturbed, then a solution to this system ceases to exist.



I don't even know where to start looking for a theorem in that direction, so any help is greatly appreciated! Cheers!

    Retagged with algebraic-topology instead of algebraic-geometry, as this is more appropriate for the problem. You may want to have a look at Sard's theorem and reinterpreting a solution of your system of equations as the intersection of level sets.
