Description

Hello, I have a short question about how to select a proper solver:
I have seen some projects using CVODE Adams-Moulton formulas with variable steps. I'm searching for available solver in diffrax which has similar performance as Adams as diffrax is well written. Therefore I would like to ask in our diffrax solvers whether there is a solver having similar performance as Adams. And whether I could implement multi-solver through diffrax interface?

Research direction

The issue names no specific file, test, or solver entry point. Start by reviewing diffrax's solver-selection and interface documentation, then compare available methods with CVODE's variable-step Adams-Moulton behavior. Done requires determining whether an equivalent solver exists or defining the scope of multi-solver support.
