singular matrix

Hi dear all,
I'm trying to run a very simple version of Overlapping Generation Model using Dynare and getting an error message:Matrix is singular to working precision. Another error arise whens I change some parameters values:Matrix is singular, close to singular or badly scaled.
Results may be inaccurate. RCOND = NaN.
Can anybody help me to solve the problem?
Thanks!

There are several places where such a message can pop up. The best would be to provide the *.mod file so that we can see were the problem is.
Best
Michel

Dear all,
I still stuck on that problem of Singular Matrix when running my dynare code (that I posted on the forum previouly). Can anyone provide me with some help?
Thanks!

Dear Tycons,
two things.
1) your model doesn't satisfy the local conditions for the existence of a stable trajectory: you have 4 eigenvalues larger than one for three forward looking variables. There was however a bug in the message concerning the rank condition, saying that the rank condition was satisfied. I have corrected this bug in the correction will be available in the snapshot for version 3 starting tomorrow.
2) There are several things that I don't understand in your model. Could you provide the algebra of the model with the meaning of the variables?
Thanks
Michel
