Description

This paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.08035 descirbes a stable explicit integrator, Patankar-Euler-Deflhard. It appears first order, but they show how to use Richardson extrapolation with it. This may be an alternative to RKC, or at least it would be good to see how they compare.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked Patankar-Euler-Deflhard paper and reviewing the existing RKC integrator. Determine where integrators are implemented and how their behavior is evaluated. Done means the explicit integrator is available and its performance or stability is compared with RKC.
