/** This interface represents a handler for discrete events triggered
 * during ODE integration.
 *
 * <p>Some events can be triggered at discrete times as an ODE problem
 * is solved. This occurs for example when the integration process
 * should be stopped as some state is reached (G-stop facility) when the
 * precise date is unknown a priori, or when the derivatives have
 * discontinuities, or simply when the user wants to monitor some
 * states boundaries crossings.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>These events are defined as occurring when a <code>g</code>
 * switching function sign changes.</p>
 *
 * <p>Since events are only problem-dependent and are triggered by the
 * independent <i>time</i> variable and the state vector, they can
 * occur at virtually any time, unknown in advance. The integrators will
 * take care to avoid sign changes inside the steps, they will reduce
 * the step size when such an event is detected in order to put this
 * event exactly at the end of the current step. This guarantees that
 * step interpolation (which always has a one step scope) is relevant
 * even in presence of discontinuities. This is independent from the
 * stepsize control provided by integrators that monitor the local
 * error (this event handling feature is available for all integrators,
 * including fixed step ones).</p>
 *
 * <p>Note that is is possible to register a {@link
 * org.apache.commons.math.ode.events.EventHandler classical event handler}
 * in the low level integrator used to build a {@link FirstOrderIntegratorWithJacobians}
 * rather than implementing this class. The event handlers registered at low level
 * will see the big compound state whether the event handlers defined by this interface
 * see the original state, and its jacobians in separate arrays.</p>
 *
 * <p>The compound state is guaranteed to contain the original state in the first
 * elements, followed by the jacobian with respect to initial state (in row order),
 * followed by the jacobian with respect to parameters (in row order). If for example
 * the original state dimension is 6 and there are 3 parameters, the compound state will
 * be a 60 elements array. The first 6 elements will be the original state, the next 36
 * elements will be the jacobian with respect to initial state, and the remaining 18 elements
 * will be the jacobian with respect to parameters.</p>
 *
 * <p>Dealing with low level event handlers is cumbersome if one really needs the jacobians
 * in these methods, but it also prevents many data being copied back and forth between
 * state and jacobians on one side and compound state on the other side. So for performance
 * reasons, it is recommended to use this interface <em>only</em> if jacobians are really
 * needed and to use lower level handlers if only state is needed.</p>

     * <code>handleStep</code> method with t = 9 afterwards. Such out of order
     * calls are limited to the size of the integration step for {@link
