Solving a non-linear equation [message #88241]

Hi,

My problem is this: I have a non-linear equation, of the form y = exp(x)+x. I have a large matrix of Y values, and for each cell (Y-value) I would like to calculate a best-fit X. How can I do this???

I have tried defining a function (exp(x)+x), which I could then get the root of by a number of methods. However I would need to first subtract my Y, before I found the root. The problem then becomes, how can I tell IDL to find the root of exp(x)+x-Y, for a range of Y values?

Eeek my brain!
