Problems with NDSolve and stiffness
I am trying to solve an ODE in chemical kinetics:
$$\begin{align*}
\frac{\mathrm d[x]}{\mathrm dt} &= -k_1 [x][y]\\
\frac{\mathrm d[y]}{\mathrm dt} &= k_1 [x][y] - k_3[y]
\end{align*}$$

NIntegrate fails while Integrate works
I have a function $f(t)$ defined as
$f(t)=\int\limits_0^t(t-\xi)^{\alpha-1}\ \cos(\xi)\ d\xi$
where $0<\alpha<1$. I now want to evaluate this integral at various values of time. Therefore, my ...

Solution gets worse as I increase Precision and Accuracy goals
I am numerically solving the following ODE below.
If I set AccuracyGoal and PrecisionGoal both to 10 I get a solution that makes sense: constant and then damped oscillation.
However, all things equal, ...
