/**
 * This class converts second order differential equations to first order ones.
 *
 * <p>This class is a wrapper around a {@link SecondOrderDifferentialEquations} which allow to use a
 * {@link FirstOrderIntegrator} to integrate it.
 *
 * <p>The transformation is done by changing the n dimension state vector to a 2n dimension vector,
 * where the first n components are the initial state variables and the n last components are their
 * first time derivative. The first time derivative of this state vector then really contains both
 * the first and second time derivative of the initial state vector, which can be handled by the
 * underlying second order equations set.
 *
 * <p>One should be aware that the data is duplicated during the transformation process and that for
 * each call to {@link #computeDerivatives computeDerivatives}, this wrapper does copy 4n scalars :
 * 2n before the call to {@link SecondOrderDifferentialEquations#computeSecondDerivatives
 * computeSecondDerivatives} in order to dispatch the y state vector into z and zDot, and 2n after
 * the call to gather zDot and zDDot into yDot. Since the underlying problem by itself perhaps also
 * needs to copy data and dispatch the arrays into domain objects, this has an impact on both memory
 * and CPU usage. The only way to avoid this duplication is to perform the transformation at the
 * problem level, i.e. to implement the problem as a first order one and then avoid using this
 * class.
