Detailed Description

A class to compute quartic contributions to the symmetry energy [abstract base].

The standard usage is that a child class implements the virtual function calc_e_sep() which is then used by calc_e_alpha() and calc_muhat(). These functions are employed by sym4_eos to compute the EOS for an arbitrary dependence of the symmetry energy on the isospin.
