[jira] [Created] (MATH-558) resetting relative and absolute tolerances in ODE adaptive step size integrators

resetting relative and absolute tolerances in ODE adaptive step size integrators
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MATH-558
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-558
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.2
            Reporter: Luc Maisonobe
            Assignee: Luc Maisonobe
             Fix For: 3.0


The current implementation of ODE integrators with adaptive step size has a major limitation. For now, the tolerances that are used to adjust the step size are specified only at construction time and cannot be changed afterwards. However, these tolerances are highly problem-dependent and in fact the dimension of the problem (which is related to the dimension of the vectorial version of the tolerances) is specified only at integration time, not at construction time.

It would be nice to add at the top-level hierarchy (abstract class AdaptiveStepsizeIntegrator) a few setters to allow users to change these tolerances after the integrator has been built. It seems the integrators by themselves were not documented as immutable, so this change is probably harmless.
