[Yanl-develop] integrate routines

[Karsten A. <kar...@gm...>]

Hi everybody,

what do you think about some integration routines with fixed times step.

I have some suggestions for an interface:

void integrate( stepper , system , dt , start_time , start_state ,
	end_time , inserter );
void integrate( stepper , system , dt , start_time , start_state ,
	num_of_steps , inserter );
void integrate( stepper , system , dt , start_time , start_state ,
	start_iter , end_inter );
void integrate( stepper , system , dt , start_time , start_state ,
	state_container );

Maybe one gets into troubles with the first two versions, since end_time
can easily by casted in num_of_steps. For the inserter one needs the
InsertIterator requirement[1] and the stepper needs the next_step
function without error estimation.

Best regards,

Karsten
