+<p>
+This package provides classes to handle discrete events occurring during
+Ordinary Differential Equations integration.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Discrete events detection is based on switching functions. The user provides
+a simple {@link org.apache.commons.math.ode.events.EventHandler#g g(t, y)}
+function depending on the current time and state. The integrator will monitor
+the value of the function throughout integration range and will trigger the
+event when its sign changes. The magnitude of the value is almost irrelevant,
+it should however be continuous (but not necessarily smooth) for the sake of
+root finding. The steps are shortened as needed to ensure the events occur
+at step boundaries (even if the integrator is a fixed-step integrator).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+When an event is triggered, several different options are available:
+</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>integration can be stopped (this is called a G-stop facility),</li>
+ <li>the state vector or the derivatives can be changed,</li>
+ <li>or integration can simply go on.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+The first case, G-stop, is the most common one. A typical use case is when an
+ODE must be solved up to some target state is reached, with a known value of
+the state but an unknown occurrence time. As an example, if we want to monitor
+a chemical reaction up to some predefined concentration for the first substance,
+we can use the following switching function setting:
+<pre>
+ public double g(double t, double[] y) {
+ return y[0] - targetConcentration;
+ }
+
+ public int eventOccurred(double t, double[] y) {
+ return STOP;
+ }
+</pre>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The second case, change state vector or derivatives is encountered when dealing
+with discontinuous dynamical models. A typical case would be the motion of a
+spacecraft when thrusters are fired for orbital maneuvers. The acceleration is
+smooth as long as no maneuver are performed, depending only on gravity, drag,
+third body attraction, radiation pressure. Firing a thruster introduces a
+discontinuity that must be handled appropriately by the integrator. In such a case,
+we would use a switching function setting similar to this:
+<pre>
+ public double g(double t, double[] y) {
+ return (t - tManeuverStart) * (t - tManeuverStop);
+ }
+
+ public int eventOccurred(double t, double[] y) {
+ return RESET_DERIVATIVES;
+ }
+</pre>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The third case is useful mainly for monitoring purposes, a simple example is:
+<pre>
+ public double g(double t, double[] y) {
+ return y[0] - y[1];
+ }
+
+ public int eventOccurred(double t, double[] y) {
+ logger.log("y0(t) and y1(t) curves cross at t = " + t);
+ return CONTINUE;
+ }
+</pre>
+</p>
