<p>
The basic stepper concept. A basic stepper following this Stepper concept
is able to perform a single step of the solution <span class="emphasis"><em>x(t)</em></span>
of an ODE to obtain <span class="emphasis"><em>x(t+dt)</em></span> using a given step size
<span class="emphasis"><em>dt</em></span>. Basic steppers can be Runge-Kutta steppers, symplectic
steppers as well as implicit steppers. Depending on the actual stepper, the
ODE is defined as <a class="link" href="system.html" title="System">System</a>,
<a class="link" href="symplectic_system.html" title="Symplectic System">Symplectic
System</a>, <a class="link" href="simple_symplectic_system.html" title="Simple Symplectic System">Simple
Symplectic System</a> or <a class="link" href="implicit_system.html" title="Implicit System">Implicit
System</a>. Note that all error steppers are also basic steppers.
