Hi Ioanna I have changed a bit the figure a bit (don't know what's meant by Pr here ) NDSolve[{Derivative[3][f][x] + 2.4*f[x]* Derivative[2][f][x] - 0.8*Derivative[1][f][x]**2 + z[x] == 0, Derivative[2][z][x] + 2.4*f[x]*Derivative[1][z][x] == 0, z[0] == 0, Derivative[1][z][0] == 0, Derivative[2][f][0] == 0, f[0] == 0, Derivative[1][f][10] == 0}, {f[x], z[x]}, {x, 0, 10}] NDSolve::"ndv" : "For a boundary value problem, only nth order single linear \ ordinary differential equations is supported." This means Mathematica NDSolve accepts only initial value problems (your f'(10)==0 is the problem) for systems roland Ioanna Pappa schrieb: > > Hi > I am trying to solve a system of two nonlinear ordinary differential > equations with initial conditions. > The system > is > f'''(x)+2.4f(x)f''(x)-0.8(f')**2+z=0 > z''(x)+2.4Pr[f(x)z(x)]'=0 > with z(0)=0, z'(0)=0, f''(0)=0, f(0)=0, f'(10)=0 > I use NDSolve end the message that gives me is: > NDSolve::deql: > The first argument must have both an equation and an initial condition. > Can you help me; > Gianna > ipappa at mie.uth.gr -- Roland Franzius +++ exactly <<n>> lines of this message have value <<FALSE>> +++
