GVEDynamics:

Path: Orbit/OrbitMechanics

% Compute continuous-time relative dynamics for Gauss' variational equations
 The form is:
  
        d/dt(del) = A(el)*del + B(el)*u

 where A(el) is all zeros, except lower-left corner is -3n/2a,
 n is the mean orbit rate, and u is the input acceleration with 
 x,y,z components in the radial, along-track, and orbit-normal 
 (or cross-track) directions, respectively.

   Usage:
   [A,B] = GVEDynamics( el );
