// .NAME vtkRungeKutta45 - Integrate an initial value problem using 5th
// order Runge-Kutta method with adaptive stepsize control.

// .SECTION Description
// This is a concrete sub-class of vtkInitialValueProblemSolver.
// It uses a 5th order Runge-Kutta method with stepsize control to obtain 
// the values of a set of functions at the next time step. The stepsize
// is adjusted by calculating an estimated error using an embedded 4th
// order Runge-Kutta formula:

  // Description:
  // Given initial values, xprev , initial time, t and a requested time 
  // interval, delT calculate values of x at t+delTActual (xnext).
  // Possibly delTActual != delT. This may occur
  // because this solver supports adaptive stepsize control. It 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 (note that maxStep and minStep should both
  // be positive, whereas delT can be negative).
  // Also note that delT is an in/out argument. vtkRungeKutta45
  // 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.
  // This is the norm of the error vector if there are more than
  // one function to be integrated.
  // This method returns an error code representing the nature of
  // the failure:
  // OutOfDomain = 1,
  // NotInitialized = 2,
  // UnexpectedValue = 3
