    public abstract class AdaptiveStepsizeIntegrator
    extends AbstractIntegrator

This abstract class holds the common part of all adaptive stepsize integrators for Ordinary Differential Equations.

These algorithms perform integration with stepsize control, which means the user does not specify the integration step but rather a tolerance on error. The error threshold is computed as

     threshold_i = absTol_i + relTol_i * max (abs (ym), abs (ym+1))

where absTol_i is the absolute tolerance for component i of the state vector and relTol_i is the relative tolerance for the same component. The user can also use only two scalar values absTol and relTol which will be used for all components.

If the Ordinary Differential Equations is an `extended ODE` rather than a `basic ODE`, then only the `primary part` of the state vector is used for stepsize control, not the complete state vector.

If the estimated error for ym+1 is such that

     sqrt((sum (errEst_i / threshold_i)^2 ) / n) < 1

(where n is the main set dimension) then the step is accepted, otherwise the step is rejected and a new attempt is made with a new stepsize.

                              double scalRelativeTolerance)

Build an integrator with the given stepsize bounds. The default step handler does nothing.

Parameters:
  `name` - name of the method
  `minStep` - minimal step (sign is irrelevant, regardless of integration direction, forward or backward), the last step can be smaller than this

  `scalAbsoluteTolerance` - allowed absolute error
  `scalRelativeTolerance` - allowed relative error

Build an integrator with the given stepsize bounds. The default step handler does nothing.

Parameters:
  `name` - name of the method
  `minStep` - minimal step (sign is irrelevant, regardless of integration direction, forward or backward), the last step can be smaller than this

### Method Detail

#### setStepSizeControl

    public void setStepSizeControl(double minimalStep,
                          double maximalStep,
                          double absoluteTolerance,
                          double relativeTolerance)

Set the adaptive step size control parameters.

A side effect of this method is to also reset the initial step so it will be automatically computed by the integrator if `setInitialStepSize` is not called by the user.

Parameters:
  `minimalStep` - minimal step (must be positive even for backward integration), the last step can be smaller than this
  `maximalStep` - maximal step (must be positive even for backward integration)
  `absoluteTolerance` - allowed absolute error
  `relativeTolerance` - allowed relative error

#### setStepSizeControl

    public void setStepSizeControl(double minimalStep,
                          double maximalStep,
                          double[] absoluteTolerance,
                          double[] relativeTolerance)

Set the adaptive step size control parameters.

A side effect of this method is to also reset the initial step so it will be automatically computed by the integrator if `setInitialStepSize` is not called by the user.

Parameters:
  `minimalStep` - minimal step (must be positive even for backward integration), the last step can be smaller than this
  `maximalStep` - maximal step (must be positive even for backward integration)
  `absoluteTolerance` - allowed absolute error
  `relativeTolerance` - allowed relative error

#### setInitialStepSize

    public void setInitialStepSize(double initialStepSize)

Set the initial step size.

This method allows the user to specify an initial positive step size instead of letting the integrator guess it by itself. If this method is not called before integration is started, the initial step size will be estimated by the integrator.

Parameters:
  `initialStepSize` - initial step size to use (must be positive even for backward integration ; providing a negative value or a value outside of the min/max step interval will lead the integrator to ignore the value and compute the initial step size by itself)

#### sanityChecks

    protected void sanityChecks(ExpandableStatefulODE equations,
                    double t)
                         throws DimensionMismatchException,
                                NumberIsTooSmallException

Check the integration span.

Overrides:
  `sanityChecks` in class `AbstractIntegrator`
Parameters:
  `equations` - set of differential equations
  `t` - target time for the integration
Throws:
  `DimensionMismatchException` - if adaptive step size integrators tolerance arrays dimensions are not compatible with equations settings
  `NumberIsTooSmallException` - if integration span is too small

#### initializeStep

    public double initializeStep(boolean forward,
                        int order,
                        double[] scale,
                        double t0,
                        double[] y0,
                        double[] yDot0,
                        double[] y1,
                        double[] yDot1)
                          throws MaxCountExceededException,
                                 DimensionMismatchException

Initialize the integration step.

Parameters:
  `forward` - forward integration indicator
  `order` - order of the method
  `scale` - scaling vector for the state vector (can be shorter than state vector)
  `t0` - start time
  `y0` - state vector at t0
  `yDot0` - first time derivative of y0
  `y1` - work array for a state vector
  `yDot1` - work array for the first time derivative of y1
Returns:
  first integration step
Throws:
  `MaxCountExceededException` - if the number of functions evaluations is exceeded
  `DimensionMismatchException` - if arrays dimensions do not match equations settings

#### filterStep

    protected double filterStep(double h,
                    boolean forward,
                    boolean acceptSmall)
                         throws NumberIsTooSmallException

Filter the integration step.

Parameters:
  `h` - signed step
  `forward` - forward integration indicator
  `acceptSmall` - if true, steps smaller than the minimal value are silently increased up to this value, if false such small steps generate an exception
Returns:
  a bounded integration step (h if no bound is reach, or a bounded value)
Throws:
  `NumberIsTooSmallException` - if the step is too small and acceptSmall is false

#### integrate

    public abstract void integrate(ExpandableStatefulODE equations,
                 double t)
                            throws NumberIsTooSmallException,
                                   DimensionMismatchException,

                                   NoBracketingException

Integrate a set of differential equations up to the given time.

This method solves an Initial Value Problem (IVP).

The set of differential equations is composed of a main set, which can be extended by some sets of secondary equations. The set of equations must be already set up with initial time and partial states. At integration completion, the final time and partial states will be available in the same object.

Since this method stores some internal state variables made available in its public interface during integration (`AbstractIntegrator.getCurrentSignedStepsize()`), it is not thread-safe.

Specified by:
  `integrate` in class `AbstractIntegrator`
Parameters:
  `equations` - complete set of differential equations to integrate
  `t` - target time for the integration (can be set to a value smaller than `t0` for backward integration)
Throws:
  `NumberIsTooSmallException` - if integration step is too small
  `DimensionMismatchException` - if the dimension of the complete state does not match the complete equations sets dimension
  `MaxCountExceededException` - if the number of functions evaluations is exceeded
  `NoBracketingException` - if the location of an event cannot be bracketed

#### getCurrentStepStart

    public double getCurrentStepStart()

Get the current value of the step start time ti.

This method can be called during integration (typically by the object implementing the `differential equations` problem) if the value of the current step that is attempted is needed.

The result is undefined if the method is called outside of calls to `integrate`.

Specified by:
  `getCurrentStepStart` in interface `ODEIntegrator`
Overrides:
  `getCurrentStepStart` in class `AbstractIntegrator`
Returns:
  current value of the step start time ti

#### resetInternalState

    protected void resetInternalState()

Reset internal state to dummy values.

#### getMinStep

    public double getMinStep()

Get the minimal step.

Returns:
  minimal step

#### getMaxStep

    public double getMaxStep()

Get the maximal step.

Returns:
  maximal step
