Trying to use Bob Hanlon's solution from here for the following system doesn't seem to work here, why?

How do I simplify the equilibrium point to this simplified expression?

eqPts = {{s -> ((δa + μ - σ) (α + δi + μ + τ))/(βi σ + βa (α + δi + μ + τ)), 
          a -> -(((α + δi + μ + τ) (μ (μ + ξ + ρ) (δa + μ - σ) (α + δi + μ + τ) + b (μ (-1 + ν) - ξ) (βi σ + βa (α + δi + μ + τ))))/((δi μ^2 + μ^3 + δi μ ξ + μ^2 ξ + α μ (δa + μ + ξ) - δi μ σ -  μ^2 σ - 2 δi ξ σ - μ ξ σ - α (μ + ξ) σ + (μ + ξ) (μ - σ) τ + δa μ (δi + μ + τ)) (βi σ + βa (α + δi + μ + τ)))), 
          i -> -((σ (μ (μ + ξ + ρ) (δa + μ - σ) (α + δi + μ + τ) + b (μ (-1 + ν) - ξ) (βi σ + βa (α + δi + μ + τ))))/((δi μ^2 + μ^3 + δi μ ξ + μ^2 ξ + α μ (δa + μ + ξ) - δi μ σ - μ^2 σ - 2 δi ξ σ - μ ξ σ - α (μ + ξ) σ + (μ + ξ) (μ - σ) τ + δa μ (δi + μ + τ)) (βi σ + βa (α + δi + μ + τ)))), 
          r -> (-(δa + μ - σ) (α + δi + μ + τ) (α δa μ - δi μ ρ - μ^2 ρ + δi μ σ + 2 δi ρ σ + μ ρ σ + α ρ (-μ + σ) - μ ρ τ + ρ σ τ + δa μ (δi + μ + τ)) + b (δi μ ν + μ^2 ν + α (δa + ν (μ - σ)) + δi σ - 2 δi ν σ - μ ν σ + ν (μ - σ) τ + δa (δi + μ + τ)) (βi σ + βa (α + δi + μ + τ)))/((δi μ^2 + μ^3 + δi μ ξ + μ^2 ξ + α μ (δa + μ + ξ) - δi μ σ - μ^2 σ - 2 δi ξ σ - μ ξ σ - α (μ + ξ) σ + (μ + ξ) (μ - σ) τ + δa μ (δi + μ + τ)) (βi σ + βa (α + δi + μ + τ)))}};

LeafCount /@ {eqPts, eqPts2 = eqPts // Simplify}

eqns = eqPts2 /. Rule :> Equal;

vars = eqns[[1, All, 1]]

params = Complement[Variables[Level[eqns, {-1}]], vars]

solve[solveVar_Symbol, var_Symbol] := 
 SortBy[Union[
    Simplify[
     Solve[eqns[[2]], 
         solveVar, #] & /@ (Append[
           Complement[vars, {solveVar, var}], #] & /@ params) /. {} :>
        Nothing]], LeafCount][[1, 1]]

solve[a, i]

This should give us

$$A^*=\frac{\mu+\delta_i+\tau+\alpha}{\sigma} I^*$$

But it doesn't, why?

EDIT: Trying Bob's solution, i get the following error:

  • $\begingroup$ Look at the error messages. eqns has only one element, so eqns[[2]] produces an error $\endgroup$ Commented May 12, 2022 at 16:33
  • $\begingroup$ How would I fix this? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ eqns is a list with only 1 element, namely a sublist. Therefore, this definition seems strange. $\endgroup$ Commented May 12, 2022 at 17:08

Starting with eqPts

LeafCount /@ {eqPts, eqPts2 = eqPts // Simplify}

(* {510, 510} *)

Note that the attempted simplification did not change the expression.

eqPts === eqPts2

(* True *)

eqns = eqPts2 /. Rule :> Equal;

vars = eqns[[1, All, 1]]

(* {s, a, i, r} *)

params = Complement[Variables[Level[eqns, {-1}]], vars]

(* {b, α, βa, βi, δa, δi, μ, ν, ξ, ρ, σ, τ} *)

In your previous problem there were two equilibrium points as opposed to the one given here. Consequently, eqns[[2]] doesn't exist. Change this to eqns[[1]]. I have also restricted the parameters considered for elimination to the first six.

solve[solveVar_Symbol, var_Symbol] := 
 SortBy[Union[Simplify[Solve[eqns[[1]], solveVar, #] & /@ 
    (Append[Complement[vars, {solveVar, var}], #] & /@ 
         params[[1 ;; 6]]) /. {} :> Nothing]], LeafCount][[1, 1]]

sol = solve[a, i]

(* {a -> (i (α + δi + μ + τ))/σ} *)

  • $\begingroup$ When I tried this solution, it outputted an error message when entering the vars= ... part. the error message was part specification .... [[1,All,1]] is longer than depth of object $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Please look at the error message edited in the question. Also can you solve for variable "r" in terms of variable "i"? Thank you, it is appreciated! $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I cannot reproduce the error. From your error message it looks like you may have removed the outer set of List brackets from eqPts2 (or earlier). $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Thank you, I missed the extra bracket. Regards. $\endgroup$
