## Description

The Adams-Bashforth method is a multi-step algorithm with configurable step number. The step number is specified as template parameter Steps and it then uses the result from the previous Steps steps. See also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_multistep_method. Currently, a maximum of Steps=8 is supported. The method is explicit and fulfills the Stepper concept. Step size control or continuous output are not provided.

This class derives from algebra_base and inherits its interface via CRTP (current recurring template pattern). For more details see algebra_stepper_base.

### `adams_bashforth` public construct/copy/destruct

1.     adams_bashforth(const algebra_type & algebra = algebra_type());

   Constructs the `adams_bashforth` class. This constructor can be used as a default constructor if the algebra has a default constructor.

   Parameters:

   `algebra` | A copy of algebra is made and stored.

### `adams_bashforth` public member functions

1.     order_type order(void) const;

   Returns the order of the algorithm, which is equal to the number of steps.

   Returns: | order of the method.

2.     template<typename System, typename StateInOut>
         void do_step(System system, StateInOut & x, time_type t, time_type dt);

   This method performs one step. It transforms the result in-place.

   Parameters:

   `dt` | The step size.
   `system` | The system function to solve, hence the r.h.s. of the ordinary differential equation. It must fulfill the Simple System concept.
   `t` | The value of the time, at which the step should be performed.
   `x` | The state of the ODE which should be solved. After calling do_step the result is updated in x.

3.     template<typename System, typename StateInOut>
         void do_step(System system, const StateInOut & x, time_type t, time_type dt);

   Second version to solve the forwarding problem, can be called with Boost.Range as StateInOut.

4.     template<typename System, typename StateIn, typename StateOut>
         void do_step(System system, const StateIn & in, time_type t, StateOut & out,
                      time_type dt);

   The method performs one step with the stepper passed by Stepper. The state of the ODE is updated out-of-place.

   Parameters:

   `dt` | The step size.
   `in` | The state of the ODE which should be solved. in is not modified in this method
   `out` | The result of the step is written in out.
   `system` | The system function to solve, hence the r.h.s. of the ODE. It must fulfill the Simple System concept.
   `t` | The value of the time, at which the step should be performed.
