## Description

The Adams-Bashforth method is a multi-step predictor-corrector algorithm with configurable step number. The step number is specified as template parameter Steps and it then uses the result from the previous Steps steps. See also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_multistep_method. Currently, a maximum of Steps=8 is supported. The method is explicit and fulfills the Stepper concept. Step size control or continuous output are not provided.

This class derives from algebra_base and inherits its interface via CRTP (current recurring template pattern). For more details see algebra_stepper_base.

### Template Parameters

1.     size_t Steps

   The number of steps (maximal 8).

2.     typename State

   The state type.

3.     typename Value = double

   The value type.

4.     typename Deriv = State

   The type representing the time derivative of the state.

5.     typename Time = Value

   The time representing the independent variable - the time.

6.     typename Algebra = typename algebra_dispatcher< State >::algebra_type

   The algebra type.

7.     typename Operations = typename operations_dispatcher< State >::operations_type

   The operations type.

8.     typename Resizer = initially_resizer

   The resizer policy type.

9.     typename InitializingStepper = runge_kutta4< State , Value , Deriv , Time , Algebra , Operations, Resizer >

   The stepper for the first two steps.

### `adams_bashforth_moulton` public construct/copy/destruct

1.     adams_bashforth_moulton(void);

   Constructs the `adams_bashforth` class.

2.     adams_bashforth_moulton(const algebra_type & algebra);

   Constructs the `adams_bashforth` class. This constructor can be used as a default constructor if the algebra has a default constructor.

   Parameters:

   `algebra` | A copy of algebra is made and stored.

### `adams_bashforth_moulton` public member functions

1.     order_type order(void) const;

   Returns the order of the algorithm, which is equal to the number of steps+1.

   Returns: | order of the method.

2.     template<typename System, typename StateInOut>
         void do_step(System system, StateInOut & x, time_type t, time_type dt);

3.     template<typename System, typename StateInOut>
         void do_step(System system, const StateInOut & x, time_type t, time_type dt);

   Second version to solve the forwarding problem, can be called with Boost.Range as StateInOut.

4.     template<typename System, typename StateIn, typename StateOut>
         void do_step(System system, const StateIn & in, time_type t,
                      const StateOut & out, time_type dt);

   Second version to solve the forwarding problem, can be called with Boost.Range as StateOut.

6.     template<typename StateType> void adjust_size(const StateType & x);

   Adjust the size of all temporaries in the stepper manually.

   Parameters:

   `x` | A state from which the size of the temporaries to be resized is deduced.

7.     template<typename ExplicitStepper, typename System, typename StateIn>
         void initialize(ExplicitStepper explicit_stepper, System system,
                         StateIn & x, time_type & t, time_type dt);
