Hello,
I have two different discrepancies to this system:
a) How and when is possible to have more solution of differential eq. or their system for same initial problem? For example this is happening in following system. It is written about this system:
"Different value of constant \dot{M}=4\pi r^2u\rho=const. lead to physically distinct classes of solution for the same boundary condition at infinity". Can anybody explain it to me?

\frac{\rho'}{\rho}+\frac{u'}{u}+\frac{2}{r}=0
uu'+a^2(r)\frac{\rho'}{\rho}+\frac{\alpha}{r^2}=0, where a(r)=a_0\big(\frac{\rho(r)}{\rho_0}\big)^{(\Gamma-1)/2}, \rho(r) and u(r) are function of r and \Gamma, a_0, \rho_0, \alpha are constant.

b) How to solve this system? I am quit sure that is possible just numerically and I tried. I expressed this equation in this way:
u'=\frac{D_1}{D}
u'=\frac{D_2}{D}, where D_1=\frac{2a^2/r-\alpha/r^2}{\rho}, D_2=\frac{2u^2/r-\alpha/r^2}{u} and D=\frac{u^2-a^2}{\rho u}.
No I see if I want smooth solution I need D_1=D_2=D=0 in same critical point r_c. These are two boundary condition (Im not sure what difference is between boundary and initial condition?). I find out r_c and u_c, value of u(r_c)=u_c. So I have to condition a(r_c)=u(r_c) and u(r_c)=u_c Am I right till this time?
Now is coming my question:
Im not much familiar with numerical methods or numerical solving so I used Mathematica soft, concretely function NDSolve with conditions mentioned above. And Mathematica said "no". By "no" I mean it diverges in r_c. What could be wrong?

Mistake in second equation in section b) so again both:
u'=\frac{D_1}{D}
\rho'=\frac{D_2}{D},
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
