Detailed Description

template<typename TyT>
class Evolution< TyT >

Time evolution (*** under development ***).

()

The template class Evolution has been devised to store and manipulate evolving quantities of any type, for instance TyT = double or TyT = Scalar.

Evolution is an abstract base class for classes Evolution_full and Evolution_std.
