Concurrency :

conditionally thread-safe

Concurrency comment :

thread-safe if the attributes differentiator and integrator are thread-safe and if the implementation of this abstract class is thread-safe too.

Method Detail

getVector3D

public abstract Vector3D getVector3D(AbsoluteDate date)
                              throws OrekitException

Get the vector at a given date. This method must be implemented in the inherited classes.

Specified by:

getVector3D in interface Vector3DFunction

Parameters:

date - the date

Returns:

the vector at a given date; the vector is an instance of the Vector3D class.

Throws:

OrekitException - if vector3D cannot be computed

getZeroDate

public final AbsoluteDate getZeroDate()

Get the date at x = 0.

Returns:

the date at x = 0.

getDifferentiator

public final UnivariateVectorFunctionDifferentiator getDifferentiator()

Get the differentiator.

Returns:

the differentiator.

getIntegrator

public final UnivariateIntegrator getIntegrator()

Get the integrator.

Returns:

the integrator.

value

public final double[] value(double x)

Compute the components of the vector at the (zero + x) date.

Specified by:

value in interface UnivariateVectorFunction

Parameters:

x - the time from the date zero for which the function value should be computed

Returns:

the three components of the vector at the given date.

Throws:

OrekitExceptionWrapper - if problems to compute value (frame transformation, or other)

nthDerivative

public Vector3DFunction nthDerivative(int order)

Compute the Vector3DFunction representing the n-th derivative of the current vector function.
The differentiation is performed using a numerical differentiation method. This method can be overridden if an analytical differentiation should be performed instead.

Specified by:

nthDerivative in interface Vector3DFunction

Parameters:

order - the order n

Returns:

the n-th derivative of the current vector function.

integral

public Vector3D integral(double x0,
                         double xf)

Returns the integral of the vector function in the given interval. The integration is performed using a numerical integration method. This method can be overridden if an analytical integration should be performed instead.

Specified by:

integral in interface Vector3DFunction

Parameters:

x0 - the lower bound of the interval.

xf - the upper bound of the interval.

Returns:

the value of the integral
