I want to solve a system of 2 coupled pde (in MATLAB) of the format:

c1*(df/dt)+c2*(df/dz)+c3*(f)+c4*(g)=0

(dg/dt)=c5*f+c6*g

with Initial conditions as
f(0,t)=1, g(z,0)=0 and f(z,0)=0

0<f,g,z,t<1

I tried using the MATLAB function pdepe to do this but got errors and if I go for numerical solving by finite difference method I get the value of f>1 which is not possible.

Please help me with this problem!

If you get values outside of the expected range you better check the values of the coefficients ##c_i## and the stability of the numerical method due to the choosen spatial and temporal steps ##\Delta z## and ##\Delta t##, respectively.
