next()

virtual double NumLib::TimeStepAlgorithm::next ( const double solution_error, int number_iterations, NumLib::TimeStep & ts_previous, NumLib::TimeStep & ts_current )

pure virtual

Move to the next time step

Parameters

solution_error	Solution error \(e_n\) between two successive time steps.
number_iterations	Number of non-linear iterations used.
ts_previous	the previous time step used to compute the size of the next step
ts_current	the current time step used to compute the size of the next step

Returns

the computed step size.

Implemented in NumLib::EvolutionaryPIDcontroller, NumLib::FixedTimeStepping, and NumLib::IterationNumberBasedTimeStepping.
