14[section Dense Output Stepper]
15
16This concept specifies the interface a dense output stepper has to fulfill to be used within __integrate_functions.
17
18[heading Description]
19A dense output stepper following this Dense Output Stepper concept provides the possibility to perform a single step of the solution /x(t)/ of an ODE to obtain /x(t+dt)/.
20The step-size `dt` might be adjusted automatically due to error control.
21Dense output steppers also can interpolate the solution to calculate the state /x(t')/ at any point /t <= t' <= t+dt/.
