/**
 * Defines two-point boundary values for indirect shooting methods with Cartesian coordinates.
 * This class represents the case where the initial and terminal times are fixed as well as the full
 * Cartesian coordinates (position and velocity vectors in some frame), using {@link AbsolutePVCoordinates} as data holder.
 * <br>
 * The terminal condition can be anterior in time to the initial one, it just means that the shooting method will perform backward propagation.
 * Also note that any acceleration vector passed in the {@link AbsolutePVCoordinates} is ignored.
