/**
 * \class MeanSquareRegistrationFunction
 *
 * This class encapsulate the PDE which drives the demons registration 
 * algorithm. It is used by MeanSquareRegistrationFilter to compute the 
 * output deformation field which will map a moving image onto a
 * a fixed image.
 *
 * Non-integer moving image values are obtained by using
 * interpolation. The default interpolator is of type
 * LinearInterpolateImageFunction. The user may set other
 * interpolators via method SetMovingImageInterpolator. Note that the input
 * interpolator must derive from baseclass InterpolateImageFunction.
 *
 * This class is templated over the fixed image type, moving image type,
 * and the deformation field type.
 *
 * \warning This filter assumes that the fixed image type, moving image type
 * and deformation field type all have the same number of dimensions.
