[section Implicit System]
[heading Description]
This concept describes how to define a ODE that can be solved by an implicit routine.
Implicit routines need not only the function /f(x,t)/ but also the Jacobian /df/dx = A(x,t)/.
/A/ is a matrix and implicit routines need to solve the linear problem /Ax = b/.
In odeint this is implemented with use of __ublas, therefore, the ['state_type] implicit routines is ['ublas::vector] and the matrix is defined as ['ublas::matrix].
[heading Notation]
[variablelist
[[`System`] [A type that is a model of `Implicit System`]]
[[`Time`] [A type representing the time of the ODE]]
[[`sys`] [An object of type `System`]]
[[`x`] [Object of type ublas::vector]]
[[`dxdt`] [Object of type ublas::vector]]
[[`jacobi`] [Object of type ublas::matrix]]
[[`t`] [Object of type `Time`]]

[[Calculate ['dx/dt := f(x,t)]] [`sys.first( x , dxdt , t )`] [`void`] [Calculates `f(x,t)`, the result is stored into dxdt] ]
[[Calculate ['A := df/dx (x,t)]] [`sys.second( x , jacobi , t )`] [`void`] [Calculates the Jacobian of /f/ at /x/,/t/, the result is stored into `jacobi`] ]
