/**
 * This class is a model for a general function that, given a point at which
 * to evaluate the function, returns a vector of values with one or more
 * components.
 *
 * The class serves the purpose of representing both scalar and vector valued
 * functions. To this end, we consider scalar functions as a special case of
 * vector valued functions, in the former case only having a single component
 * return vector. Since handling vectors is comparatively expensive, the
 * interface of this class has functions which only ask for a single component
 * of the vector-valued results (this is what you will usually need in case
 * you know that your function is scalar-valued) as well as functions you can
 * ask for an entire vector of results with as many components as the function
 * object represents. Access to function objects therefore is through the
 * following methods:
 * @code
 * // access to one component at one point
 * double
 * value(const Point<dim> & p,
 *       const unsigned int component = 0) const;
 *
 * // return all components at one point
 * void
 * vector_value(const Point<dim> &p,
 *              Vector<double>   &value) const;
 * @endcode
 *
 * For more efficiency, there are other functions returning one or all
 * components at a list of points at once:
 * @code
 * // access to one component at several points
 * void
 * value_list(const std::vector<Point<dim>> &point_list,
 *            std::vector<double>           &value_list,
 *            const unsigned int             component = 0) const;
 *
 * // return all components at several points
 * void
 * vector_value_list(const std::vector<Point<dim>> &point_list,
 *                   std::vector<Vector<double>>   &value_list) const;
 * @endcode
 *
 * Furthermore, there are functions returning the gradient of the function or
 * even higher derivatives at one or several points.
 *
 * You will usually only overload those functions you need; the functions
 * returning several values at a time (value_list(), vector_value_list(), and
 * gradient analogs) will call those returning only one value (value(),
 * vector_value(), and gradient analogs), while those ones will throw an
 * exception when called but not overloaded.
 *
 * Conversely, the functions returning all components of the function at one
 * or several points (i.e. vector_value(), vector_value_list()), will
 * <em>not</em> call the function returning one component at one point
 * repeatedly, once for each point and component. The reason is efficiency:
 * this would amount to too many virtual function calls. If you have
 * vector-valued functions, you should therefore also provide overloads of the
 * virtual functions for all components at a time.
 *
 * Also note, that unless only called a very small number of times, you should
 * overload all sets of functions (returning only one value, as well as those
 * returning a whole array), since the cost of evaluation of a point value is
 * often less than the virtual function call itself.
 *
 * Support for time dependent functions can be found in the base class
 * FunctionTime.
 *
 *
 * <h3>Functions that return tensors</h3>
 *
 * If the functions you are dealing with have a number of components that are
 * a priori known (for example, <tt>dim</tt> elements), you might consider
 * using the TensorFunction class instead. This is, in particular, true if the
 * objects you return have the properties of a tensor, i.e., they are for
 * example dim-dimensional vectors or dim-by-dim matrices. On the other hand,
 * functions like VectorTools::interpolate or
 * VectorTools::interpolate_boundary_values definitely only want objects of
 * the current type. You can use the VectorFunctionFromTensorFunction class to
 * convert the former to the latter.
 *
 *
 * <h3>Functions that return vectors of other data types</h3>
 *
 * Most of the time, your functions will have the form $f : \Omega \rightarrow
 * {\mathbb R}^{n_\text{components}}$. However, there are occasions where you
 * want the function to return vectors (or scalars) over a different number
 * field, for example functions that return complex numbers or vectors of
 * complex numbers: $f : \Omega \rightarrow {\mathbb
 * C}^{n_\text{components}}$. In such cases, you can choose a value different
 * than the default @p double for the second template
 * argument of this class: it describes the scalar type to be used for each
 * component of your return values. It defaults to @p double, but in the
 * example above, it could be set to <code>std::complex@<double@></code>.
 * step-58 is an example of this.
 *
 * @tparam dim The space dimension of the range space within which the domain
 *   $\Omega$ of the function lies. Consequently, the function will be
 *   evaluated at objects of type @p Point<dim>.
 * @tparam RangeNumberType The scalar type of the vector space that is
 *   the range (or image) of this function. As discussed above,
 *   objects of the current type represent functions from ${\mathbb
 *   R}^\text{dim}$ to $S^{n_\text{components}}$ where $S$ is the
 *   underlying scalar type of the vector space. The type of $S$ is
 *   given by the @p RangeNumberType template argument.

/**
 * This class provides a way to convert a scalar function of the kind
 * @code
 * RangeNumberType foo (const Point<dim> &);
 * @endcode
 * into an object of type Function@<dim@>. Since the argument returns a
 * scalar, the result is clearly a Function object for which
 * <code>function.n_components == 1</code>. The class works by storing a pointer
 * to the given function and every time
 * <code>function.value(p,component)</code> is called, calls
 * <code>foo(p)</code> and returns the corresponding value. It also makes sure
 * that <code>component</code> is in fact zero, as needs be for scalar
 * functions.
 *
 * The class provides an easy way to turn a simple global function into
 * something that has the required Function@<dim@> interface for operations
 * like VectorTools::interpolate_boundary_values() etc., and thereby allows
 * for simpler experimenting without having to write all the boiler plate code
 * of declaring a class that is derived from Function and implementing the
 * Function::value() function. An example of this is given in the results
 * section of step-53.
 *
 * The class gains additional expressive power because the argument it takes
 * does not have to be a pointer to an actual function. Rather, it is a
 * function object, i.e., it can also be the result of a lambda function or some
 * other object that can be called with a single argument. For
 * example, if you need a Function object that returns the norm of a point, you
 * could write it like so:
 * @code
 * template <int dim, typename RangeNumberType>
 * class Norm : public Function<dim, RangeNumberType>
 * {
 * public:
 *   virtual RangeNumberType
 *   value(const Point<dim> & p,
 *         const unsigned int component) const
 *   {
 *     Assert (component == 0, ExcMessage ("This object is scalar!"));
 *     return p.norm();
 *   }
 * };
 *
 * Norm<2> my_norm_object;
 * @endcode
 * and then pass the <code>my_norm_object</code> around, or you could write it
 * like so:
 * @code
 * ScalarFunctionFromFunctionObject<dim, RangeNumberType> my_norm_object(
 *   &Point<dim>::norm);
 * @endcode
 *
 * Similarly, to generate an object that computes the distance to a point
 * <code>q</code>, we could do this:
 * @code
 * template <int dim, typename RangeNumberType>
 * class DistanceTo : public Function<dim, RangeNumberType>
 * {
 * public:
 *   DistanceTo (const Point<dim> &q) : q(q) {}
 *
 *   virtual RangeNumberType
 *   value (const Point<dim> & p,
 *          const unsigned int component) const
 *   {
 *     Assert(component == 0, ExcMessage("This object is scalar!"));
 *     return q.distance(p);
 *   }
 * private:
 *   const Point<dim> q;
 * };
 *
 * Point<2> q (2, 3);
 * DistanceTo<2> my_distance_object;
 * @endcode
 * or we could write it like so:
 * @code
 * ScalarFunctionFromFunctionObject<dim, RangeNumberType> my_distance_object(
 *   [&q](const Point<dim> &p){return q.distance(p);});
 * @endcode
 * The savings in work to write this are apparent.
 *
 * Finally, these lambda functions can be used as a way to map points in
 * different ways. As an example, let us assume that we have computed
 * the solution to a one-dimensional problem and that that solution
 * resides in the following variables:
 * @code
 *   DoFHandler<1>  dof_handler_1d;
 *   Vector<double> solution_1d;
 * @endcode
 * We will denote this solution function described by this DoFHandler
 * and vector object by $u_h(x)$ where $x$ is a vector with just one
 * component, and consequently is not shown in boldface. Then assume
 * that we want this $u_h(x)$ to be used as a boundary condition for a 2d
 * problem at the line $y=0$. Let's say that this line corresponds to
 * @ref GlossBoundaryIndicator "boundary indicator"
 * 123.
 * If we say that the 2d problem is associated with
 * @code
 *   DoFHandler<2> dof_handler_2d;
 * @endcode
 * then in order to evaluate the boundary conditions for this 2d problem,
 * we would want to call VectorTools::interpolate_boundary_values()
 * via
 * @code
 *   AffineConstraints<double> boundary_values_2d;
 *   VectorTools::interpolate_boundary_values (dof_handler_2d,
 *                                             123,
 *                                             ???,
 *                                             boundary_values_2d);
 * @endcode
 * The question here is what to use as the Function object that can be passed
 * as third argument. It needs to be a Function<2> object, i.e., it
 * receives a 2d input point and is supposed to return the value at that
 * point. What we *want* it to do is to just take the $x$ component of the
 * input point and evaluate the 1d solution at that point, knowing that at
 * the boundary with indicator 123, the $y$ component of the input point
 * must be zero. This all can be achieved via the following function
 * object:
 * @code
 *   Functions::FEFieldFunction<1>
 *     solution_1d_as_function_object (dof_handler_1d, solution_1d);
 *   auto boundary_evaluator
 *     = [&] (const Point<2> &p)
 *       {
 *          // First extract the x component of the input point:
 *          const Point<1> point_on_axis (p[0]);
 *
 *          // Then evaluate the 1d solution at that point:
 *          return solution_1d_as_function_object.value(point_on_axis);
 *       }
 *
 *   AffineConstraints<double> boundary_values_2d;
 *   VectorTools::interpolate_boundary_values (dof_handler_2d,
 *                                             123,
 *                                             ScalarFunctionFromFunctionObject<2>(boundary_evaluator),
 *                                             boundary_values_2d);

 * object that returns zero in each component except the single selected one

 *
 * For example: Say you created a function object that returns the gravity
 * (here, a radially inward pointing vector of magnitude 9.81):
 * @code
 *   const auto gravity
 *     = [](const Point<dim> &p) -> Tensor<1,dim> { return -9.81 * (p /
 * p.norm()); }
 * @endcode
 * and you want to interpolate this onto your mesh using the
 * VectorTools::interpolate function, with a finite element for the
 * DoFHandler object has 3 copies of a finite element with <tt>dim</tt>
 * components, for a total of 3*dim components. To interpolate onto that
 * DoFHandler, you need an object of type Function that has 3*dim vector
 * components. Creating such an object from the existing <code>gravity</code>
 * object is done using this piece of code:
 * @code
 * VectorFunctionFromTensorFunctionObject<dim, RangeNumberType>
 *   gravity_vector_function(gravity, 0, 3*dim);
 * @endcode
 * where the <code>dim</code> components of the `gravity` function are placed
 * into the first <code>dim</code> components of the function object.
