Abstract
In the present paper, we study the approximation of solutions (if any) of a system of equations, where the only condition required to the involved functions is to be continuous. To be more precise, by using the so called \(\alpha \)-dense curves, if the given system has some solution in a densifiable set we propose a method, which only use evaluations of single variable functions, to approximate at least one solution of the system in such set. The feasibility and reliability of the proposed method is illustrated by several examples, and its drawbacks are also discussed.
