Abstract
Fully explicit stabilized multirate (mRKC) methods are well-suited for the numerical solution of large multiscale systems of stiff ordinary differential equations thanks to their improved stability properties. To demonstrate their efficiency for the numerical solution of stiff, multiscale, nonlinear parabolic PDE's, we apply mRKC methods to the monodomain equation from cardiac electrophysiology. In doing so, we propose an improved version, specifically tailored to the monodomain model, which leads to the explicit exponential multirate stabilized (emRKC) method. Several numerical experiments are conducted to evaluate the efficiency of both mRKC and emRKC, while taking into account different finite element meshes (structured and unstructured) and realistic ionic models. The new emRKC method typically outperforms a standard implicit-explicit baseline method for cardiac electrophysiology. Code profiling and strong scalability results further demonstrate that emRKC is faster and inherently parallel without sacrificing accuracy.
