Why does my ode45 return a solution with the first values as zero despite I supplying non-zero initial conditions?

In the following code to simulate Pond volume and water temperature changes the code returns the solution (Y) with the first values of pondvolume and water temperature as 0,0. What could be the problem and ho can I solve it?

"Why does my ode45 return a solution with the first values as zero despite I supplying non-zero initial conditions?"
Because you loop variable t is set from 1 to length(tspans)-1, but the indexing (for variables Y and Rho_net_values) and is done using t+1. And as you have preallocated the array using zeros(), the 1st value is not modified and remains as it is.
To resolve this issue change the index from t+1 to t -
% Solar constant [MJ m-2 min-1]
Gsc = 0.08;
lat = 0; % Latitude
% Define simulation period
startdate = datetime(2023, 01, 01, 'Format', 'uuuu-MM-dd');
finishdate = datetime(2023, 06, 30, 'Format', 'uuuu-MM-dd');
tspans = (1:1:days(finishdate - startdate) + 1);
% Initialize arrays to store MM, doy, and dd values
MM_array_s = zeros(1, days(finishdate - startdate) + 1);
doy_array_s = zeros(1, days(finishdate - startdate) + 1);
dd_array_s = zeros(1, days(finishdate - startdate) + 1);
% Convert date to datetime object
for idx = 1:days(finishdate - startdate) + 1
current_date = startdate + days(idx - 1);
MM = month(current_date);
dd = day(current_date);
doy = days(current_date - datetime(year(current_date), 1, 1)) + 1;
% Store values in arrays
MM_array_s(idx) = MM;
doy_array_s(idx) = doy;
dd_array_s(idx) = dd;

Hi Daniel,
It seems like you were expecting to have a non-zero initial value, but it appears you received a zero initial value instead.
Upon very closely analyzing your code, I find that the value of ‘tspans’ is 181 and the size of matrix ‘Y’ is also 181.
In the looping part, the variable ‘t’ is ranging from 1 to 180. So, the maximum time matrix ‘Y’ is getting updated is only 180 times.
If you change this part of the code,
Y (t+1, :) = Y_integrated(end, :);
Initial_conditions10=Y (t+1, :);
Rho_net_values(t+1) = Rho_net;
With this:
Y (t, :) = Y_integrated(end, :);
Initial_conditions10=Y (t, :);
Rho_net_values(t) = Rho_net;
The last value of the vector will hold a zero value.
I hope this was helpful.

Its true but my wish the code could execute in such a manner such that both the first and the last values are not zeros.

In that case, simply reduce the size of the matrix 'Y' by 1. This will exclude the possibility of zero in the code.

Hi Daniel,
I would suggest looking into timetables for processing of timeseries data. This would likely allow you to get rid of the for loops and calulate the new variables with dot notation like this:
myTable.NewVar = mytable.OldVar1 .* myTable.Oldvar2 + Const1.
This also opens up a lot of funtionality through the retime function and simplifies plotting of multiple variables through the stacked plot function.
You've probably got everything working with your loop by now but it could be a consideration for the future.
Cheers,
Tom
