Dear group 


Using NDSolve in Mathematica 4.0.2 i find something strange.
When an initial condition is equal to zero i get an undefined system, but no errors;

I have:

nd = NDSolve[{
      A'[t] ==  -A[t]/(2 + A[t]),
      B'[t] == (B[t]/ A[t]) *   A'[t], A[0] == 0, B[0] == 10}, {A,
      B}, {t, 0, 10}]

Only when i replace all A[t] by zero i get the expected behaviour
(infinite expression 1/0 encountered).

Is this normal or am i expecting wrong behaviour?


Kind regards,
Bernd
