       abstract = "The electrophysiology in a cardiac cell can be modeled as a system of ordinary
         differential equations (ODEs). The efficient solution of these systems is important because they
         must be solved many times as sub-problems of tissue- or organ-level simulations of cardiac
         electrophysiology. The wide variety of existing cardiac cell models encompasses many different
         properties, including the complexity of the model and the degree of stiffness. Accordingly, no
         single numerical method can be expected to be the most efficient for every model. In this article,
         we study the stiffness properties of a range of cardiac cell models and discuss the implications for
         their numerical solution. This analysis allows us to select or design numerical methods that are
         highly effective for a given model and hence outperform commonly used methods.",
