// Class description:
//
// G4HelixMixedStepper split the Method used for Integration in two:
//
// If Stepping Angle ( h / R_curve) < pi/3 : use Stepper for small step
// 
// Else use  HelixExplicitEuler Stepper
//
// Stepper for the small step is G4ClassicalRK4 by default, but
//  it possible to choose other stepper,like G4CashKarpRK45 or G4RKG3_Stepper,
//  by setting StepperNumber : new HelixMixedStepper(EqRhs,N)
//
//  N=0  G4ExplicitEuler;          N=1  G4ImplicitEuler;  
//  N=2  G4SimpleRunge;            N=3  G4SimpleHeum;
//  N=4  G4ClassicalRK4;           N=5  G4HelixExplicitEuler;
//  N=6  G4HelixExplicitEuler;     N=7  G4HelixSimpleRunge;
//  N=8  G4CashKarpRK45;           N=9  G4ExactHelixStepper;
//  N=10 G4RKG3_Stepper;
//
// History: 
// Derived from ExactHelicalStepper 18/05/07
