[section Error Stepper]
This concepts specifies the interface an error stepper has to fulfill to be used within a ControlledErrorStepper. An error stepper must always fulfill the stepper concept. This can trivially implemented by
``
template< class System >
error_stepper::do_step( System sys , state_type &x , time_type t , time_type dt )
{
state_type xerr;
// allocate xerr
do_step( sys , x , t , dt , xerr );
}
``
[heading Description]
An error stepper following this Error Stepper concept is capable of doing one step of the solution /x(t)/ of an ODE with step-size /dt/ to obtain /x(t+dt)/ and also computing an error estimate ['x[sub err]] of the result.
Error Steppers can be Runge-Kutta steppers, symplectic steppers as well as implicit steppers.
Based on the stepper type, the ODE is defined as __system, __symplectic_system, __simple_symplectic_system or __implicit_system.
