Class DummyStepInterpolator

  org.spaceroots.mantissa.ode.AbstractStepInterpolator
      org.spaceroots.mantissa.ode.DummyStepInterpolator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, Externalizable, Serializable, StepInterpolator

public class DummyStepInterpolator

extends AbstractStepInterpolator

This class is a step interpolator that does nothing.

This class is used when the "step handler" set up by the user does not need step interpolation. It does not recompute the state when setInterpolatedTime is called. This implies the interpolated state is always the state at the end of the current step.

Constructor Detail

DummyStepInterpolator

public DummyStepInterpolator()

Simple constructor. This constructor builds an instance that is not usable yet, the AbstractStepInterpolator.reinitialize(double[], boolean) method should be called before using the instance in order to initialize the internal arrays. This constructor is used only in order to delay the initialization in some cases. As an example, the RungeKuttaFehlbergIntegrator uses the prototyping design pattern to create the step interpolators by cloning an uninitialized model and latter initializing the copy.

DummyStepInterpolator

protected DummyStepInterpolator(double[] y,
                                boolean forward)

Simple constructor.

Parameters:

y - reference to the integrator array holding the state at the end of the step

forward - integration direction indicator

Method Detail

computeInterpolatedState

protected void computeInterpolatedState(double theta,
                                        double oneMinusThetaH)
                                 throws DerivativeException

Compute the state at the interpolated time. In this class, this method does nothing: the interpolated state is always the state at the end of the current step.

Specified by:

computeInterpolatedState in class AbstractStepInterpolator

Parameters:

theta - normalized interpolation abscissa within the step (theta is zero at the previous time step and one at the current time step)

oneMinusThetaH - time gap between the interpolated time and the current time

Throws:

DerivativeException - this exception is propagated to the caller if the underlying user function triggers one
