Hi, Can someone help me. I am trying to solve a system of 48 Lorenz equations which are diffusively coupled. In the system of equations, k1, k2, and k3 are the coupling strengths (constants) which in this case I gave the values k1=15.6, k2=8.8 and k3=5.9. In the system a, b, and c are also constants and I assigned them values a=10, b=27, and c=8/3. I used initial conditions x[0]=0.7, y[0]=0.3 and z[0]=-1.5. N (is integer) represents the N th lorenz system and so it has values from 0 to 48. In the notebook below in which I tried to plot the N=21 Lorenz system I just got the error that x[t][21], y[t][21], z[t][21] are not real numbers. Thank you Winston Lorenzs[init1_, init2_, init3_ ,N_, time_, k1_, k2_, k3_, {a_, b_, c_}]:= Module[{}, {N,0,48} ; lorenz=NDSolve[{ x'[t][N]+a*(y[t][N]-x[t][N])+ d1*(x[t][N-1]-2 x[t][N] + x[t][N])==0, y'[t][N]+b*x[t][N]-y[t][N]-x[t][N] y[t][N] + d2*(y[t][N-1]-2 y[t][N]+y[t][N+1])==0, z'[t][N]-c*z[t][N] +z[t][N] y[t][N] + d3 *(z[t][N-1]-2 z[t][N]+z[t][N+1])==0, x[0][N]==init1[[1]], y[0][N]==init2[[2]], z[0][N]==init3[[3]]}, {x[N], y[N], z[N]}, {t,0,time}, MaxSteps->200000]; x[t_][N] := Evaluate[x[t][N] /. lorenz]; y[t_][N]:= Evaluate[y[t][N] /. lorenz]; z[t_][N] := Evaluate[z[t][N] /. lorenz]; ]; a=10; b=27; c=8/3; Lorenzs[{0.7,0.3,-1.5}, N, 5000, 15.6, 8.8, 5.9, {a,b,c}]; Plot[{x[t][21], y[t][21], z[t][21]}, {t,0,600}, PlotStyle\[Rule]{RGBColor[1,0,0.3],RGBColor[0,0.5,1],RGBColor[1,0,0.3]}];
