Well, I just need to add the condition xs<0 to my equations, and the numeric solver that I use now gives the following solutions:

Code:


  x0       = -12.281421214881970   
  y0       = +1.16511414476357   
  xs       = -1.77028039267528   
  dl       = +10.922349898643146

BTW, I've used the ancient (more than 15 years old!) numeric solver 'Eureka 2.11', which is still a very good (DOS!) program for such tasks.
