W(0)=0; W(f)=2.8; d(P)/d(W)=((-0.3743)/(2*P))*(1-(0.15*X)); P(0)=1; d(X)/d(W)=0.5*((0.08*(0.75*(1-X)))/(1-(0.15*X))); X(0)=0; Trying to solve these two ODEs

Try this:
PX_ODE = @(W,PX) [((-0.3743)./(2*PX(1))).*(1-(0.15*PX(2))); 0.5*((0.08*(0.75*(1-PX(2))))./(1-(0.15*PX(2))))];
[W,PX] = ode15s(PX_ODE, [0, 2.8], [1; 0]);
figure
plot(W, PX)
grid
Here ‘P’ is ‘PX(1)’, ‘X’ is ‘PX(2)’. The system encounters a singularity at 2.67, and the integration stops.

I was trying to do it this way, syms P(W) X(W) eqn1 = diff(P, W) == ((-0.3743)/(2*P))*(1-(0.15*X)); eqn2 = diff(X, W) == (0.5*((0.08*(0.75*(1-X)))/(1-(0.15*X))));
[odes, vars] = odeToVectorField(eqn1, eqn2); fun = matlabFunction(odes,'Vars',{'t','Y'}); X0(0) = [0, 0]; tspan = [0, 2.8]; [t, sol] = ode45(fun,tspan,x0);
P = sol(:,2); X = sol(:,1);

That certainly works, although ‘P(0)’ cannot be zero. If ‘X(0)’ is greater than 1, the system will integrate out to 2.8.
Also, ‘fun’ is essentially the same as my code, and the result is the same. (The system is ‘stiff’, so ode15s or another stiff solver is more appropriate.)
