for each order when using adaptive time stepping is marked with a circle
(:math:`^\circ`). The "Slow RHS Calls" column corresponds to the number of
calls to the slow right-hand side function, :math:`f^E`, per time step.
Note :math:`^\vee`: although all MERK methods were derived in :cite:p:`Luan:20`
under an assumption that the fast time scale is linear in the solution, in
:cite:p:`Fish:24` it was proven that they also satisfy all nonlinear order
conditions up through their linear order. The lone exception is MERK54, where
it was only proven to satisfy all nonlinear conditions up to order 4, since
:cite:p:`Fish:24` did not establish the formulas for the order 5 conditions.
All our numerical tests to date have shown MERK54 to achieve fifth order for
nonlinear problems, and so we conjecture that it also satisfies the nonlinear
fifth order conditions.
