Differential equations in Matlab/Simulink

I) Solve the following: dz(t)/dt=t*e –z, z(0)=-2

Note that t is a linearly increasing signal with slope 1.
I have written the exponential function in the block Matlab function.
The initial condition is written in the block Integrator.
In Figur Ib you can see the solution !

II) Solve dz/dt=z2-z3+sin(t), z(0)=0.5
The differential equation in Simulink is implemented like Figure IIa.
The solution is shown in Figure IIb.

III) Solve d2z(t)/dt2- dz(t)/dt+4z(t)=t*sin(t) , z(0)=1 , dz(0)/dt=-3
What kind of strategy to use ? I suggest that you eliminate everything on one side of
the equality sign except for the time differentiation of the highest order.
Then formulate the whole differential equation around the Add block.
The initial condition dz(0)/dt is inserted into the left integrator and
z(0) in the right. See the solution in Figure IIIb.

IV) Solve: d z(t)/dt - 2dz(t)/dt+10z(t)* dz(t)/dt =10*e
With initial conditions: z(0)=-1 , dz(0)/dt=1
Sine Wave can be changed to a cosine wave by a phase shift of 90o .
-0.1t
In the Matlab function we have written the following: 10*e .
The initial conditions are inserted into the integrators.
The condition dz(0)/dt is in the left integrator and z(0) in the right.
See the solution in Figure IVb !
