Aug 1, 2012 at 13:36 comment added timur h against x or t? If the instability is caused by your numerical method or a bug, then from my limited experience I would expect the vertical scale to be completely crazy (like 10^10 or something). So this might be really what is going on. You said that it is model of an instability. This kind of behaviour is to be expected?
Aug 1, 2012 at 11:35 comment added gstar2002 what I am plotting here is the height of the fluid surface. It is h in the equation.
Aug 1, 2012 at 8:49 comment added gstar2002 It is a model of faraday instability in thin fluid film
Aug 1, 2012 at 4:11 comment added timur What are you plotting here? What is the origin of this equation?
Aug 1, 2012 at 1:26 comment added Robert Israel Do you have any reason to think that your system actually has smooth solutions?

Jul 27, 2012 at 16:20 comment added Ryan Budney MO isn't a place to diagnose software problems but you could make this into a suitable question but you'll have to supply more details. Could you tell us (1) exactly which differential equation are you studying and what are your boundary conditions? (2) Do you know precisely which method your software is using? `finite difference method' is very vague, to me at least.
Jul 26, 2012 at 10:57 comment added gstar2002 I am asking about the theoretical reason. The ODE have up to third degree differential operators in it and it is nonlinear.
Jul 26, 2012 at 5:55 comment added David Roberts To clarify: are you asking about the theoretical reason why you get this result, or are you asking for help to use Matlab? The former question is on-topic, the latter is not, and a specialised Matlab forum might be better placed to help you.
Jul 26, 2012 at 1:58 comment added David Roberts This question could do with some improving. At present I don't know it fits in with MO's guidelines (but I'm happy to be corrected).
