MATLAB: How can i fix ‘Unable to solve the collocation equations — a singular jacobian encountered’ problem

boundarybvp4ccodeerrorjacobian

Our coupled equations:
f'''+(12/5)*f''*f-(4/5)*((f')^2)+q=0 q''+(12/5)*Pr*(f*q)'=0
Here is our boundary conditions:
q(0)=1 q'(0)=0 q(inf)=0
f''(0)=0 f'(inf)=0 f(0)=0 inf:infinity
Here is our function:
function dydx = fun(x,y)
Pr=0.1;
dydx = [ y(2)
y(3)
-(12/5)*(y(3))*y(1)+(4/5)*(y(2)^2)-y(4)
y(5)
-(12/5)*Pr*(y(4)*y(2)+y(5)*y(1))];
end % End nested function
And boundary conditions:
res = fun_bc(f0,finf)
res = [ f0(1)-1
f0(2)
f0(3)
f0(1)
finf(2)];
*y(1)=f y(2)=f' y(3)=f'' y(4)=q y(5)=q' However, when we run the code we face the problem 'Unable to solve the collocation equations — a singular jacobian encountered.' How can we solve this problem?
Thanks

You can't prescribe f(0)=1 and f(0)=0 at the same time as boundary condition.
