Hi all, first post here so sorry If I am leaving out details. I am writing an ODE45 file which contains a nested rate function. I've done this numerous times before, but I am getting an error which does not specify where I should look to debug.
Code:
function res = renalclearance()
t_final = 120; %minutes
[T,M] = ode45(@renal_rate, [0,t_final], 10); %10 = initial concentration (mmol/L)
Y = M(:,1);
W = M(:,2);
figure(1) %dci/dt
plot(T,Y)
figure(2) %dce/dt
plot(T,W)
end
function res = renal_rate(t,Z)
Ci = Z(1);
Ce = Z(2);
kc = 0.77; %L/min
kt = 0.25; %L/min
qf = 0.083; %L/min
gi = 0.1; %mmmol/min
v0 = 40; %L
vr = 1.67;
vt = v0-(t*qf);
vi = ((vt)/(1+(1/vr)));
ve = ((vt)/(1+vr));
vdi = 1/(1.598);
vde = 1/(2.67);
dci_dt = -((vdi+kc)*(Ci/vi))+((kc*Ce + gi)/(vi));
dce_dt = -((vde+kc+kt)*(Ce/ve))+((kc*Ci)/(ve));
res = [dci_dt,dce_dt];
end
And here is the corresponding error message:
Error in renalclearance (line 5)
[T,M] = ode45(@renal_rate, [0,t_final], 10); %10 = initial concentration (mmol/L)

You have two problems:
First, your system has two differential equations, so you must have two initial conditions:
ic = [0 10];
[T,M] = ode45(@renal_rate, [0,t_final], ic); %10 = initial concentration (mmol/L)
Second, ‘renal_rate’ has to return a column vector:
res = [dci_dt; dce_dt];
Note the vertical concatenation operator here, (;). With these changes your code runs without error. Change the initial conditions (the ‘ic’ vector) if I guessed wrong as to what they should be.
