/**
 * This class implements a Gragg-Bulirsch-Stoer integrator for
 * Ordinary Differential Equations.
 *
 * <p>The Gragg-Bulirsch-Stoer algorithm is one of the most efficient
 * ones currently available for smooth problems. It uses Richardson
 * extrapolation to estimate what would be the solution if the step
 * size could be decreased down to zero.</p>
 *
 * <p>
 * This method changes both the step size and the order during
 * integration, in order to minimize computation cost. It is
 * particularly well suited when a very high precision is needed. The
 * limit where this method becomes more efficient than high-order
 * embedded Runge-Kutta methods like {@link DormandPrince853Integrator
 * Dormand-Prince 8(5,3)} depends on the problem. Results given in the
 * Hairer, Norsett and Wanner book show for example that this limit
 * occurs for accuracy around 1e-6 when integrating Saltzam-Lorenz
 * equations (the authors note this problem is <i>extremely sensitive
 * to the errors in the first integration steps</i>), and around 1e-11
 * for a two dimensional celestial mechanics problems with seven
 * bodies (pleiades problem, involving quasi-collisions for which
 * <i>automatic step size control is essential</i>).
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * This implementation is basically a reimplementation in Java of the
