Hello Group. I was playing around with lorenz system again. I assigned random numbers for all the parameters. and made a steady state system based on that and solved for the variables. and I get the following. ( the code is at the bottom) {y[0] == 0.1889025652295933*(-1.3382047869208344 - 0.47590327034877034*Sqrt[7.906927918602607 - 18.515309886236974*e]), x[0] == 0.31792235868739005*(1.5727110293983604 + 0.5593002876087739*Sqrt[7.906927918602607 - 18.515309886236974*e]), z[0] == 0.042970475451898735*(7.906927918602607 + 2.8119260158479644*Sqrt[7.906927918602607 - 18.515309886236974*e]} What are those little e's at the end of the solutions? Is that euler's number? and why can't I use that in NDSolve routine? are those signifcant? any thoughts are appreciated.
