I can't get the null space of a Matrix. This is how the matrix is calculated (use values Ta_in=3000, k_in=3, inputnumber=1 as reference):
function Mat = Matrix(Ta_in,k_in,inputnumber)
syms zeta(x) Psi(x) V(x) ypsilon0(x) sigma k Ta ypsilon0 Dypsilon0 mu
Ta=Ta_in;
k=k_in;
number=inputnumber;
mu_vec=[0,0,0,0,0.5,1];
mu=mu_vec(number);
ypsilon0(x)=1/(2*sigma+sigma^2)*((-1-sigma*x)+(1+sigma)^2/(1+sigma*x)+mu*(1+sigma)^2*(1+sigma*x-1/(1+sigma*x)));
ypsilon0_0=limit(ypsilon0(x),sigma,0);
Dypsilon0_0=limit(diff(ypsilon0(x),x),sigma,0);
sigma_vec=[0,0.5,1,2,0,0];
sigma=sigma_vec(number);
if sigma==0
ypsilon0=ypsilon0_0;
Dypsilon0=Dypsilon0_0;
else
ypsilon0=ypsilon0(x);
Dypsilon0=diff(ypsilon0,x,1);
end
ypsilon0=subs(ypsilon0);
Dypsilon0=subs(Dypsilon0);
gamma=0;
eqs=[zeta(x)==1/(1+sigma*x)*(diff(Psi(x),x,2)-k^2*Psi(x))-sigma*diff(Psi(x),x,1)/(1+sigma*x)^2,...
gamma*zeta(x)-Ta*2*ypsilon0*k*V(x)/(1+sigma*x)==diff(zeta(x),x,2)+sigma*diff(zeta(x),x,1)/(1+sigma*x)-(k^2+sigma^2/(1+sigma*x)^2)*zeta(x),...
gamma*V(x)-k*Psi(x)*Dypsilon0+sigma*ypsilon0/(1+sigma*x)/(1+sigma*x)==diff(V(x),x,2)+sigma/(1+sigma*x)*diff(V(x),x,1)-(k^2+sigma^2/(1+sigma*x)^2)*V(x)];
vars=[zeta(x), Psi(x), V(x)];
[newEqs,newVars]=reduceDifferentialOrder(eqs,vars);
newEqs=subs(newEqs);
xystruct=struct('x',[],'y',[]);
f=zeros(3,3);
for n=1:3
switch n
case 1
c=[1 0 0];
case 2
c=[0 1 0];
case 3
c=[0 0 1];
end
%%initial conditions:
Psi0=0;
DPsi0=0;
zeta0=c(1);
Dzeta0=c(2);
V0=0;
DV0=c(3);
%%order: newVars =zeta(x), Psi(x), V(x), Dzeta_t(x), DPsit(x), DVt(x)
initConditions=[zeta0 Psi0 V0 Dzeta0 DPsi0 DV0];
[M,F]=massMatrixForm(newEqs,newVars);
fun = M\F;
odefun=odeFunction(fun,newVars);
opts = odeset('RelTol',1e-5,'AbsTol',1e-7);
[x,y]=ode45(odefun,[0 1], initConditions,opts);
xystruct(n).x=x;
xystruct(n).y=y;
[rows,cols]=size(y);
f(1,n)=y(rows,2);%%f1 = psi
f(2,n)=y(rows,5);%%f2 = Dpsi
f(3,n)=y(rows,3);%%f3 = V
end
Mat=f;
Then:
null(Matrix(3000,3,1))
This returns an empty vector.
Any ideas how to solve this issue?

That null returns an empty vector merely means your matrix is full rank. You cannot compute a non-empty null space of a full rank matrix. It does not exist.
A good question is to compute the SVD of your matrix. you need only the singular values. Is one of them close to being zero, but just a bit more than eps times the largest singular vlaue?
Mat
Mat =
0.724126524459701 0.285725197854218 -173.130875191614
-0.488098140173286 0.942936238526739 -938.432889302303
0.244437311796916 0.0428476702924243 -9.40505165295999
>> rank(Mat)
ans =
3
>> svd(Mat)
ans =
954.31657322839
0.845977933126111
0.000784006154677659
So not even that close to being singular. It has one moderately small singular value. If, in fact, your code is correct, but there are numerical issues corrupting the problem, the closest thing this matrix has to a null space vector is V(:,3) below:
[U,S,V] = svd(Mat);
V(:,3)
ans =
0.135712466140226
-0.990747692346457
-0.00106613522064244
Is it truly a nullspace vector? Well, no. Not very close.
Mat*V(:,3)
ans =
-0.000229246749867018
3.47877296913435e-05
0.000748932070224632
but as close as you can get.

A matrix with determinant very close to zero. Sorry, but regardless what you learned from some class, the determinant is a poor way to learn anything about a matrix.
A = eye(10);
det(A)
det(10*A)
det(0.1*A)
Multiply or divide it by 10, and the determinant is either tiny or huge. But none of those matrices is even remotely singular.
Anyway, I already showed you how to find the closest thing to a null space vector from that matrix.
If you want to perturb the paramters to find a matrix that is singular, then instead of trying to push the determinant to zero, you will be better off trying to make the condition number of the matrix as large as possible.

Or, you can try to make the reciprocal condition number as small as possible.
