// Approximating model solution
/* The class Approximation in this file is a main interface to the
algorithms calculating approximations to the decision rule about
deterministic and stochastic steady states.
The approximation about a deterministic steady state is solved by classes
FirstOrder and KOrder. The approximation around the stochastic steady state
is computed by class KOrderStoch together with a method of Approximation
class.
The approximation around the stochastic steady state is done with an
explicit expression of forward derivatives of g**. More formally,
we have to solve the decision rule g from the implicit system:
𝔼ₜ(f(g**(g*(y*,uₜ,σ),uₜ₊₁,σ),g(y*,uₜ,σ),yₜ,uₜ)) = 0
The term within the expectations can be Taylor expanded, and the expectation
can be driven into the formula. However, when doing this at σ≠0, the term
g** at σ≠0 is dependent on uₜ₊₁ and thus the integral of its approximation
includes all derivatives w.r.t. u of g**. Note that for σ=0, the derivatives
of g** in this context are constant. This is the main difference between the
approximation at deterministic steady (σ=0), and stochastic steady (σ≠0).
This means that the k-order derivative of the above equation at σ≠0 depends
on all derivatives of g** (including those with order greater than k).
The explicit expression of the forward g** means that the derivatives of g
are not solved simultaneously, but that the forward derivatives of g** are
calculated as an extrapolation based on the approximation at lower σ. This
is exactly what does Approximation::walkStochSteady(). It starts at the
deterministic steady state, and in a few steps it adds to σ explicitly
expressing forward g** from a previous step.
Further details on the both solution methods are given in (todo: put
references here when they exist).
Very important note: all classes here used for calculation of decision
rule approximation are folded. For the time being, it seems that Faà
Di Bruno formula is quicker for folded tensors, and that is why we
stick to folded tensors here. However, when the calcs are done, we
calculate also its unfolded versions, to be available for simulations
and so on. */

/* This class is used to calculate derivatives by Faà Di Bruno of
f(g**(g*(y*,u,σ),u,σ),g(y*,u,σ),y*,u) with respect to u. In order to keep
it as simple as possible, the class represents an equivalent (with respect
to u) container for f(g**(y*,u,σ),0,0,0). The class is used only for
evaluation of approximation error in Approximation class, which is
calculated in Approximation::calcStochShift().
Since it is a folded version, we inherit from StackContainer<FGSTensor> and
FoldedStackContainer. To construct it, we need only the g** container and
size of stacks. */

/* This class provides an interface to approximation algorithms. The core
method is walkStochSteady() which calculates the approximation about
stochastic steady state in a given number of steps. The number is given as a
parameter ns of the constructor. If the number is equal to zero, the
resulted approximation is about the deterministic steady state.
An object is constructed from the DynamicModel, and the number of steps
ns. Also, we pass a reference to journal. That's all. The result of the
core method walkStochSteady() is a decision rule dr and a matrix ss
whose columns are steady states for increasing σ during the walk. Both can
be retrived by public methods. The first column of the matrix is the
deterministic steady state, the last is the stochastic steady state for the
full size shocks.
The method walkStochSteady() calls the following methods: approxAtSteady()
calculates an initial approximation about the deterministic steady,
saveRuleDerivs() saves derivatives of a rule for the following step in
rule_ders and rule_ders_ss (see Approximation::saveRuleDerivs() for
their description), check() reports an error of the current approximation
and calcStochShift() (called from check()) calculates a shift of the system
equations due to uncertainity.
dr_centralize is a new option. Dynare++ was automatically expressing
results around the fixed point instead of the deterministic steady state.
dr_centralize controls this behavior. */
