    The authors consider the question of how to estimate the splitting error when solving nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations by applying the Strang (-Marchuk) splitting to partial differential equations. For the discretization in space they refer to an adaptive multiresolution technique. They prove theorems about the error of the original and a shifted (first order) splitting for a scalar reaction-diffusion equation, and, based on this, develop a strategy to compute the actual time step as well as an interval in which the estimates are valid, for more general equations and systems of equations, and for a given accuracy. Their numerical tests include the stiff Belousov-Zhabotinski model and multi-scale gas discharges, applying high-order methods in time in order to make the main error source the splitting method.
