Hi, I am trying to solve a set of differential equations using NDSolve. But I'm seeing some really tiny negative numbers like this one: -1.28E-12. I'm guessing this is a machine-precision related problem. So I was wondering if I can somehow ensure that the variable values never go below 0, or alternatively, ensure that these tiny numbers equate to 0? Thanks! a
