fsolve Assignment has more non-singleton rhs dimensions than non-singleton subscripts

Hi, I have a symbolic integration and I need to use fsolve for my nonlinear 2 by 2 system:

function F=torder1(x)
% clear all; clc; close all;
   x_1=[0:0.01:1];
   b=0.6;
  T = [0:0.01:1];     % this is time vector

clear x_1;   
syms x_1 h theta kappa

f_11(x_1,h,theta) = 1-( (h+(x_1-b)*theta)^2/(h+(x_1-b)*theta-1*x_1*(1-x_1))^2 );
f_21(x_1,h,theta) = (x_1-b)/2*( 1-( (h+(1-b)*theta)^2/(h+(x_1-b)*theta-x_1*(1-x_1))^2 ));

fint_1 = int(f_11, x_1);
fint_2 = int(f_21, x_1);

x_1=1;
upper_1=subs(fint_1);
upper_2=subs(fint_2);
clear x_1;
x_1=0;
lower_1=subs(fint_1);
lower_2=subs(fint_2);
clear x_1;
integral_result_1old=upper_1-lower_1;
integral_result_2old=upper_2-lower_2;

h0 = kappa *b*(1-b);
theta0 = kappa*(1-2*b);

integral_result_1 = subs(integral_result_1old, {h, theta}, {x(1), x(2)})
integral_result_2 = subs(integral_result_2old, {h, theta}, {x(1), x(2)})
% 
F = [x(1) - integral_result_1 -h0;
    x(2) - integral_result_2 - theta0]

When I use this code, I have the error in the title.

Thanks for help.

[Walter Roberson]

integral_result_1 and integral_result_2 are symbolic functions, not symbolic formula and not numeric values. They are functions of x_1, h, theta , but when numeric x are passed in, they are independent of x_1, h, and theta, but dependent on the undefined kappa. You cannot do a vertical concatenation of two functions, it appears. And if you could, then they would be the wrong data type (function) for an fsolve result. If you changed them so that they were symbolic expressions instead of symbolic functions then you would still have the undefined symbol kappa.

The function that you apply fsolve() to must return numeric values.

I have deleted my kappa by mistaken. It was kappa=1;

I do not understand your comment about "You cannot do a vertical concatenation of two functions, it appears." I had a look fsolve example in the MathWorks page and I wrote this code.

Now, question raises "How can I change symbolic expressions which were symbolic functions before"?

Anyway thanks for the help Walter.I will investigate the question I just asked.

Change

f_11(x_1,h,theta) = 1-( (h+(x_1-b)*theta)^2/(h+(x_1-b)*theta-1*x_1*(1-x_1))^2 );
f_21(x_1,h,theta) = (x_1-b)/2*( 1-( (h+(1-b)*theta)^2/(h+(x_1-b)*theta-x_1*(1-x_1))^2 ));

to

f_11 = 1-( (h+(x_1-b)*theta)^2/(h+(x_1-b)*theta-1*x_1*(1-x_1))^2 );
f_21 = (x_1-b)/2*( 1-( (h+(1-b)*theta)^2/(h+(x_1-b)*theta-x_1*(1-x_1))^2 ));

Change

F = [x(1) - integral_result_1 -h0;
    x(2) - integral_result_2 - theta0];

to

F = [double(x(1) - integral_result_1 -h0);
     double(x(2) - integral_result_2 - theta0)];
