// .NAME vtkInitialValueProblemSolver - Integrate a set of ordinary
// differential equations (initial value problem) in time.

// .SECTION Description
// Given a vtkFunctionSet which returns dF_i(x_j, t)/dt given x_j and
// t, vtkInitialValueProblemSolver computes the value of F_i at t+deltat.

// .SECTION Warning
// vtkInitialValueProblemSolver and it's subclasses are not thread-safe.
// You should create a new integrator for each thread.

  // Description:
  // Given initial values, xprev , initial time, t and a requested time 
  // interval, delT calculate values of x at t+delTActual (xnext).
  // For certain concrete sub-classes delTActual != delT. This occurs
  // when the solver supports adaptive stepsize control. If this
  // is the case, the solver tries to change to stepsize such that
  // the (estimated) error of the integration is less than maxError.
  // The solver will not set the stepsize smaller than minStep or
  // larger than maxStep.
  // Also note that delT is an in/out argument. Adaptive solvers
  // will modify delT to reflect the best (estimated) size for the next
  // integration step.
  // An estimated value for the error is returned (by reference) in error.
  // Note that only some concrete sub-classes support this. Otherwise,
  // the error is set to 0.
  // This method returns an error code representing the nature of
  // the failure:
  // OutOfDomain = 1,
  // NotInitialized = 2,
  // UnexpectedValue = 3
