MATLAB: Need help to stop the ode when v(2) is zero using ode events. I have tried in so many ways but couldn’t get result.

Best Answer

But your works sufficiently already. Insert this test:
[t,v] = ode45(@(t,v)rhs(t,v,Nsquare), zspan, v0,options);
if t(end) ~= zspan
disp('Event function has stopped the integration');
end
You will see, that the event function works as expected. At i=14 the 0 is reached by v(2). So what does "couldn't get result" mean?
Note that you have some other troubles:
Warning: Failure at t=1.802503e+02. Unable to meet integration tolerances
without reducing the step size below the smallest value allowed
(4.547474e-13) at time t.
It seems like there is a pole. Then the integration cannot work reliably.
