# TSARKIMEX
ODE and DAE solver using additive Runge-Kutta IMEX schemes These methods are intended for problems with well-separated time scales, especially when a slow scale is strongly
nonlinear such that it is expensive to solve with a fully implicit method. The user should provide the stiff part
of the equation using `TSSetIFunction()` and the non-stiff part with `TSSetRHSFunction()`.
## Notes
The default is `TSARKIMEX3`, it can be changed with `TSARKIMEXSetType()` or -ts_arkimex_type
If the equation is implicit or a DAE, then `TSSetEquationType()` needs to be set accordingly. Refer to the manual for further information.
Methods with an explicit stage can only be used with ODE in which the stiff part G(t,X,Xdot) has the form Xdot + Ghat(t,X).
Consider trying `TSROSW` if the stiff part is linear or weakly nonlinear.
