Is the value of 'a' known or unknown? Are you trying to find a numerical solution or a symbolic solution?

It's unknown not equal to zero, both numerical and symbolic.

You need to convert the higher-order (say n-th order) ODE equation into a system of n first-order ODE equations. See this example: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/ode45.html#bu3uj8b
