Hi,
your first version works if you replace the line which is no
differential equation.
{w1'[u] == w1[u] 1/w[u] (w1[u]/w[u])^(1 - \[Epsilon]),
w2'[u] == w2[u] 1/w[u] (w2[u]/w[u])^(1 - \[Epsilon]),
timer'[u] == (p1 w1[u] + p2 w2[u]), timer[0] == 0, w1[0] == 1.5,
w2[0] == 1} /. {p1 -> .01, p2 -> .01, \[Epsilon] -> .5,
w[u] -> w1[u] + w2[u]}
NDSolve[%, {w1, w2, timer}, {u, 0, 11}]
Cheers
Patrick
