from the Widlar schema
that you can see, from here, i don't know how to retrieve this formula :
$$ I_{C1} = {\beta_1 \over {\beta_1+1}} \left( I_{R1} - {I_{C2} \over \beta_2} \right) $$

1The formulas mean little when there's no **schematic** to relate them to. Sure, I can follow the link and look there but I'm too lazy so include it here. And what is your actual question? – Bimpelrekkie Sep 15 '20 at 10:59

What can't you retrieve? – Andy aka Sep 15 '20 at 11:05

your first formula differs from that in the article you link to. – RJR Sep 15 '20 at 11:38

I don't know how to retrieve is this formula (corrected) : $$ I_{C1} = {\beta_1 \over {\beta_1+1}} \left( I_{R1} - {I_{C2} \over \beta_2} \right) $$. I put the schema too... – user7058377 Sep 15 '20 at 12:40

Ok , I get the solution :
and KCL in A and after in B :
$$ I_{R1} = I_{C1} + (I) $$ $$ I_{R1} = I_{C1} + (I_{B1}+I_{B2}) $$
i get

Please accept your own answer (by clicking the tick button right under the points) so that the question does not remain open. – Rohat Kılıç Sep 15 '20 at 14:13

Notice that a \$Q_1\$ is a diode-connected BJT thus, without \$Q_2\$ we see that:
\$I_{R1} = I_{B1} + I_{C1} = I_{E1}\$
And now if we add \$Q_2\$ we have:
\$I_{R1} = I_{E1} +I_{B2} =I_{E1} +\frac{I_{C2}}{\beta2}\$
but you want to know the \$Q_1\$ collector current:
\$I_{E1} = I_{R1} - I_{B2}\$
\$I_{C1} = \alpha*I_{E1}\$
\$I_{C1} = (I_{R1} - I_{B2})*\alpha\$
Additional we know that
\$\frac{I_C}{I_E} = \alpha = \frac{I_B *\beta }{I_B*\beta + I_B} = \frac{\beta}{\beta +1} \$
therefore
\$I_{C1} = \alpha \left(I_{R1} - I_{B2}\right) = \frac{\beta}{\beta +1}\left(I_{R1} -\frac{I_{C2}} {\beta2}\right)\$

Well you see two nodes but I see one "big" node os this must be true Ie1 = IR1 - Ib2 no matter how many nodes you add. – G36 Sep 15 '20 at 14:52
