Example

Example reformulated from SciPy documentation:

>>> from pynleq2 import solve
>>> def f(x, i):
...     return [x[0] + (x[0] - x[1])**3/2 - 1,
...             (x[1] - x[0])**3/2 + x[1]], i
>>> def j(x):
...     return [
...         [
...             1 + 3/2 * (x[0] - x[1])**(3-1),
...             -3/2 * (x[0] - x[1])**(3-1)
...         ],
...         [
...             -3/2 * (x[1] - x[0])**(3-1),
...             1 + 3/2 * (x[1] - x[0])**(3 - 1)
...         ]
...     ]
...
>>> x, ierr = solve(f, j, [0, 1])
>>> x
