/** \brief StepControlStrategy class for TimeStepControl
 *
 *  This TimeStepControlStrategy primarily tries to maintain a
 *  certain level of change in the solution ill-respective of the
 *  error involved, e.g., the solution should change between 1% and
 *  3% (\f$\eta_{min}=0.01\f$ and \f$\eta_{max}=0.03\f$) every
 *  time step.  The relative solution change is measured by
 *  \f[
 *    \eta_{n-1} = \frac{|| x_{n-1} - x_{n-2} ||}{ || x_{n-2} || + \epsilon }
 *  \f]
 *  where \f$\epsilon\f$ is a small constant to ensure that \f$\eta_{n-1}\f$
 *  remains finite.  The user can select the desired relative
 *  change in the solution by choosing a range for \f$\eta_{n-1}\f$
 *  \f[
 *    \eta_{min} < \eta_{n-1} < \eta_{max}
 *  \f]
 *  If the solution change is outside this range, an amplification
 *  (\f$\rho\f$) or reduction factor (\f$\sigma\f$) is applied to
 *  the timestep to bring the solution change back into the desired
 *  range.  This can be written as
 *  \f[
 *    \Delta t_n = \left\{
 *      \begin{array}{rll}
 *        \sigma \Delta t_{n-1} & \mbox{if $\eta_{n-1} > \eta_{max}$}
 *                              & \mbox{where $0 < \sigma < 1$}             \\
 *        \rho   \Delta t_{n-1} & \mbox{else if $\eta_{n-1} < \eta_{min}$}
 *                              & \mbox{where $\rho > 1$}                   \\
 *               \Delta t_{n-1} &
 *                        \mbox{else if $\eta_{min}<\eta_{n-1}<\eta_{max}$} \\
 *      \end{array}
 *    \right.
 *  \f]
 *  In the full implementation, several other mechanisms can amplify
 *  or reduce the timestep.
 *  - Stepper fails
 *  - Maximum Absolute error, \f$e_{abs}^{max}\f$
 *  - Maximum Relative error, \f$e_{rel}^{max}\f$
 *  - Order, \f$p\f$
 *  \f[
 *    \Delta t_n = \left\{
 *      \begin{array}{rll}
 *        \sigma \Delta t_{n-1} & \mbox{if Stepper fails}
 *                              & \mbox{where $0 < \sigma < 1$}            \\
 *        \rho   \Delta t_{n-1} & \mbox{else if $\eta_{n-1} < \eta_{min}$}
 *                              & \mbox{where $\rho > 1$}                  \\
 *        \sigma \Delta t_{n-1} & \mbox{else if $\eta_{n-1} > \eta_{max}$}
 *                              & \mbox{where $0 < \sigma < 1$}            \\
 *        \sigma \Delta t_{n-1} & \mbox{else if $e_{abs} > e_{abs}^{max}$}
 *                              & \mbox{where $0 < \sigma < 1$}            \\
 *        \sigma \Delta t_{n-1} & \mbox{else if $e_{rel} > e_{rel}^{max}$}
 *                              & \mbox{where $0 < \sigma < 1$}            \\
 *        \rho   \Delta t_{n-1} & \mbox{else if $p < p_{min}$}
 *                              & \mbox{where $\rho > 1$}                  \\
 *        \sigma \Delta t_{n-1} & \mbox{else if $p > p_{max}$}
 *                              & \mbox{where $0 < \sigma < 1$}            \\
 *               \Delta t_{n-1} & \mbox{else} &                            \\
 *      \end{array}
 *    \right.
 *  \f]
 *
 *  Note
 *  - Only one amplification or reduction is applied each timestep.
 *  - The priority is specified by the order of list.
 *  - The timestep, \f$\Delta t_n\f$, is still constrained to the
 *    maximum and minimum timestep size.
 *    \f$\Delta t_{min} < \Delta t_n < \Delta t_{max}\f$
 *  - If \f$ \eta_{min} < \eta_n < \eta_{max}\f$, the timestep
 *    is unchanged, i.e., constant timestep size.
 *  - To have constant timesteps, set \f$\eta_{min}=0\f$ and
 *    \f$\eta_{max}=10^{16}\f$.  These are the defaults.
 *  - From (Denner, 2014), amplification factor, \f$\rho\f$, is
 *    required to be less than 1.91 for stability (\f$\rho < 1.91\f$).
 *  - Denner (2014) suggests that \f$\eta_{min} = 0.1*\eta_{max}\f$
 *    and the numerical tests confirm this for their problems.
