I have an easy Wilson current mirror problem to solve. I tried to do it but I am not sure if it is correct.
Here is the circuit:

The problem is to find (Ir/I), i.e. Currence Ir over currence I. It is assumed that all the transistors are equal: beta (currence amplification) is the same.
Here is my solution:

Q3, Q4 scaling the output current by 2 ? Assuming they are interdigitated match
pair geometry. Or splitting current to reduce T effects ?

Or eliminating CM effects of source I source ? Or eliminating output supply
effect on output current due to finite output sink. To raise effective complience
of mirror and increase finite dynamic R of output transistor ? The analysis
should lead to answer.

Guess on my part.

Hello there,

I used a different approach by substituting an equivalent topology so i could write the equations more directly and got the same result. So you must have done something right :)
