## This function can be used to integrate a system of ODEs with a given initial
## condition @var{x} from @var{t} to @var{t+dt}, with the Bogacki-Shampine
## method of third order.  For the definition of this method see
## @url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Runge%E2%80%93Kutta_methods}.
##
## @var{@fun} is a function handle that defines the ODE: @code{y' = f(tau,y)}.
## The function must accept two inputs where the first is time @var{tau} and
## the second is a column vector of unknowns @var{y}.
##
## @var{t} is the first extreme of integration interval.
##
## @var{x} is the initial condition of the system..
##
## @var{dt} is the timestep, that is the length of the integration interval.
##
## The optional fourth argument @var{options} specifies options for the ODE
## solver.  It is a structure generated by @code{odeset}.  In particular it
## contains the field @var{funarguments} with the optional arguments to be used
## in the evaluation of @var{fun}.
##
## The optional fifth argument @var{k_vals_in} contains the Runge-Kutta
## evaluations of the previous step to use in a FSAL scheme.
##
## The optional sixth argument @var{t_next} (@code{t_next = t + dt}) specifies
## the end of the integration interval.  The output @var{x_next} s the higher
## order computed solution at time @var{t_next} (local extrapolation is
## performed).
##
## Optionally the functions can also return @var{x_est}, a lower order solution
## for the estimation of the error, and @var{k_vals_out}, a matrix containing
## the Runge-Kutta evaluations to use in a FSAL scheme or for dense output.
