022 * This class implements the classical fourth order Runge-Kutta
023 * integrator for Ordinary Differential Equations (it is the most
024 * often used Runge-Kutta method).
025 *
026 * <p>This method is an explicit Runge-Kutta method, its Butcher-array
027 * is the following one :
028 * <pre>
029 *    0  |  0    0    0    0
030 *   1/2 | 1/2   0    0    0
031 *   1/2 |  0   1/2   0    0
032 *    1  |  0    0    1    0
