<br>
</div>If your ODEs are stiff, why are you trying to use an explicit method?<br>
(A common definition of "stiff" is that explicit methods do not work<br>
well.)<br>
<div><br>

<br>
</div>Always show the full error message. Please also use 'master' from<br>
petsc-dev, because TSRK was overhauled recently to be consistent with<br>
the other integrators (and adding a bunch of new functionality).<br>
<br>

<br>
</div>Yes, TSSSP is for non-stiff problems that require "strong stability"<br>
(like controlling total variation or positivity in transport-dominated<br>
applications).<br>
<div><br>

<br>
</div>Stiff ODEs should be solved *implicitly*.<br>

<br>
</div>TSSSP does not have an adaptive controller. A user can set a post-check<br>
function that adapts the time step based on a custom stability function<br>
(e.g., CFL criteria).<br>
<br>
TSROSW and TSARKIMEX are IMEX methods that can handle stiff problems.<br>
They have adaptive error estimators and the like.<br>
