• ### Method Detail

• #### getNumberOfTimes

int getNumberOfTimes()
Returns:
Returns the number of time discretization points.
• #### getNumberOfTimeSteps

int getNumberOfTimeSteps()
Returns:
Returns the number of time steps (= number of discretization points-1).
• #### getTime

double getTime(int timeIndex)
Returns the time for the given time index.
Parameters:
timeIndex - Time index
Returns:
Returns the time for a given time index.
• #### getTimeStep

double getTimeStep(int timeIndex)
Returns the time step from the given time index to the next one.
Parameters:
timeIndex - Time index
Returns:
Returns the time step
• #### getTimeIndex

int getTimeIndex(double time)
Returns the time index for the given time. If the given time is not in the time discretization the method returns a negative number being (-insertionPoint-1).
Parameters:
time - The time.
Returns:
Returns the time index for a given time.
• #### getTimeIndexNearestLessOrEqual

int getTimeIndexNearestLessOrEqual(double time)
Returns the time index for the time in the time discretization which is the nearest to the given time, being less or equal (i.e. max(i : timeDiscretization[i] ≤ time where timeDiscretization[i] ≤ timeDiscretization[j]).
Parameters:
time - Given time.
Returns:
Returns a time index
• #### getTimeIndexNearestGreaterOrEqual

int getTimeIndexNearestGreaterOrEqual(double time)
Returns the time index for the time in the time discretization which is the nearest to the given time, being greater or equal (i.e. min(i : timeDiscretization[i] ≥ time where timeDiscretization[i] ≤ timeDiscretization[j]).
Parameters:
time - Given time.
Returns:
Returns a time index
• #### getAsDoubleArray

double[] getAsDoubleArray()
Return a clone of this time discretization as double[].
Returns:
The time discretization as double[]
• #### getAsArrayList

ArrayList<Double> getAsArrayList()
Return a clone of this time discretization as ArrayList<Double>. Note that this method is costly in terms of performance.
Returns:
The time discretization as ArrayList<Double>
• #### getTimeShiftedTimeDiscretization

TimeDiscretizationInterface getTimeShiftedTimeDiscretization(double timeShift)
Return a new time discretization where all time points have been shifted by a given time shift.
Parameters:
timeShift - A time shift applied to all discretization points.
Returns:
A new time discretization where all time points have been shifted by the given time shift.
