public class DormandPrince54Integrator
extends EmbeddedRungeKuttaIntegrator

This class implements the 5(4) Dormand-Prince integrator for Ordinary Differential Equations.

This integrator is an embedded Runge-Kutta integrator of order 5(4) used in local extrapolation mode (i.e. the solution is computed using the high order formula) with stepsize control (and automatic step initialization) and continuous output. This method uses 7 functions evaluations per step. However, since this is an fsal, the last evaluation of one step is the same as the first evaluation of the next step and hence can be avoided. So the cost is really 6 functions evaluations per step.

This method has been published (whithout the continuous output that was added by Shampine in 1986) in the following article :
