/** This interface represents a handler for discrete events triggered
 * during ODE integration.
 *
 * <p>Some events can be triggered at discrete times as an ODE problem
 * is solved. This occurs for example when the integration process
 * should be stopped as some state is reached (G-stop facility) when the
 * precise date is unknown a priori, or when the derivatives have
 * discontinuities, or simply when the user wants to monitor some
 * states boundaries crossings.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>These events are defined as occurring when a <code>g</code>
 * switching function sign changes.</p>
 *
 * <p>Since events are only problem-dependent and are triggered by the
 * independent <i>time</i> variable and the state vector, they can
 * occur at virtually any time, unknown in advance. The integrators will
 * take care to avoid sign changes inside the steps, they will reduce
 * the step size when such an event is detected in order to put this
 * event exactly at the end of the current step. This guarantees that
 * step interpolation (which always has a one step scope) is relevant
 * even in presence of discontinuities. This is independent from the
 * stepsize control provided by integrators that monitor the local
 * error (this event handling feature is available for all integrators,
 * including fixed step ones).</p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Note that prior to Hipparchus 3.0, some of the methods that are now in
 * {@link ODEEventDetector} were in this interface (and the remaining
 * ones were in the defunct {@code EventHandlerConfiguration} interface).
 * The interfaces have been reorganized to allow different objects to be
 * used in event detection and event handling, hence allowing users to
 * reuse predefined events detectors with custom handlers.
 * </p>
 * @see org.hipparchus.ode.events
 * @since 3.0
