The last entry in tspan must be different from the first entry. Error in ode45 (line 115) odeargumen​ts(FcnHand​lesUsed, solver_name, ode, tspan, y0, options, varargin);

I found this code in an article and tried to run it on my 2014 matlab, but it is giving error on ODE45. The functions are in different programs, but in the same folder. I can't run it. Can someone help me?

function Q=q(t)
global Qstar
DQ=1;
Q=Qstar+DQ;
end
function Hdot=hdot(t,H)
global RHO G A1 A2 Hstar Qstar
Q=q(t);
k1=-A2*sqrt(2*G)/A1;
k2=1/RHO/A1;
Hdot=k1*sqrt(H)+k2*Q;
end

% Linear step response
t=0:0.1:300;
k2=1/RHO/A1;
Omega=A2^2*G*RHO/A1/Qstar;

den=[1 Omega];
DH=step(num,den,t);
% Plot results in centimeters (cm)
plot(t,100*DH,tn,100*DHn,'--'); grid

[tn, H] = ode45 ('Hdot', [t0, tf], H0);

Obrigada pela ajuda, mas o erro persiste. :(

Error using odearguments (line 80)

The last entry in tspan must be different from the first entry.

Error in ode45 (line 115)

odearguments(FcnHandlesUsed, solver_name, ode, tspan, y0, options, varargin);

It works for me.

[tn,H] = ode45(@hdot,[t0, tf], H0);
DHn=H-Hstar; % Subtract Hstar to obtain DH
