Unfortunately, I cannot use nested or anonymous functions. The functions I'm calling are in separate files. I cut down the example I typed in, but basically, it uses an if..elseif block to choose a function based on other parameters.
I was able to make my sample work by adding a third parameter to the declaration of f and then using this call:
[t_steps,s1]=ode45(@(t,y) f(t,y,beta), t_steps, s0, options);
But I can't say I understand what it's doing. And I note that t and y are not given values anywhere before the @(t,y) part of that command. But the correct values are being passed into the function (at least the first time) and I'm getting the results I expect.
Thanks.
