--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MATH-558
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-558
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.2
            Reporter: Luc Maisonobe
            Assignee: Luc Maisonobe
             Fix For: 3.0


The current implementation of ODE integrators with adaptive step size has a 
major limitation. For now, the tolerances that are used to adjust the step size 
are specified only at construction time and cannot be changed afterwards. 
However, these tolerances are highly problem-dependent and in fact the 
dimension of the problem (which is related to the dimension of the vectorial 
version of the tolerances) is specified only at integration time, not at 
construction time.

It would be nice to add at the top-level hierarchy (abstract class 
AdaptiveStepsizeIntegrator) a few setters to allow users to change these 
tolerances after the integrator has been built. It seems the integrators by 
themselves were not documented as immutable, so this change is probably 
harmless.
