Interface CH.epfl.lcvm.mccc.ODEFunction

public interface ODEFunction
A general ODE function interface. This assumes that that the system is autonomous. This is assumed to have the structure. x' = func(x,parameters), with boundary values at s=0 and s=1. x is s dependant while parameters are not. Note that this system is autonomous... with no explicit x dependance. If you require explicit s dependance this can be simulater by adding one additional equation of the form s' = 1. Also, the system is assumed to be square (the number of s dependant quantities and the number of equations is the same).
