MATLAB: Find difficult in solving these four coupled ODE’s using ODE45….I have attached a file regarding these equations..

ode45 with four coupled ordinary differential equations

function dy=pair(t,y,a,b,d,hstress,sigma,Hstar,kc,c)
dy(1)= a*sinh((b*(sigma^d)*(1-y(2)))/((1-y(3))*(1-y(4)))) ;
dy(2)=((hstress*(a*sinh(b*(sigma^d)*(1-y(2)))/(1-y(3))*(1-y(4))))/(sigma^d))*(1-y(2)/Hstar);
dy(3)=(kc/3)*power((1-y(3)),4);
dy(4)= c*y(1);
dy=dy';
end
Error

I suspect I know a bit of what's going wrong, yet I'm at a loss for how to fix it. Any help is much appreciated!

a=0.5179;
b=1.1003E-3;
c=0.4576;
d=1;
hstress=3463.46;
Hstar=0.7846;
Kc=0.1137;
tspan=0:0.01:40;
initial_conditions=[0;0;0;0] %change the intial condition according to your values
[t,y]=ode45(@(t,y)pair(t,y,a,b,d,hstress,sigma,Hstar,Kc,c),tspan,initial_conditions) %function call
plot(t,y(:,1))
function dy=pair(t,y,a,b,d,hstress,sigma,Hstar,kc,c) %function definition
dy=zeros(4,1);
dy(1)=a*sinh((b*(sigma^d)*(1-y(2)))/((1-y(3))*(1-y(4)))) ;
dy(2)=((hstress*(a*sinh(b*(sigma^d)*(1-y(2)))/(1-y(3))*(1-y(4))))/(sigma^d))*(1-y(2)/Hstar);
dy(3)=(kc/3)*power((1-y(3)),4);
dy(4)=c*y(1);
end
