// 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=2  G4SimpleRunge;            N=3  G4SimpleHeum;
//  N=4  G4ClassicalRK4;      
//  N=6  G4HelixImplicitEuler;     N=7  G4HelixSimpleRunge;
//  N=8  G4CashKarpRK45;           N=9  G4ExactHelixStepper;
//  N=10 G4RKG3_Stepper;           N=13 G4NystromRK4
//  N=23 BogackiShampine23         N=145 TsitourasRK45 
//  N=45 BogackiShampine45         N=745 DormandPrince745 (ie DoPri5)
//
//  For completeness also available are:
//  N=11 G4ExplicitEuler           N=12 G4ImplicitEuler;   -- Likely poor
//  N=5  G4HelixExplicitEuler (testing only)
//  For recommendations see comments in 'SetupStepper' method.
//
//  Note: Like other helix steppers, only applicable in pure magnetic field
//
// History: 
// Derived from ExactHelicalStepper 18/05/07
