Explicit stabilized methods are highly efficient time integrators for large and stiff systems of ordinary differential equations especially when applied to semi-discrete parabolic problems. However, when local spatial mesh refinement is introduced, their efficiency decreases, since the stiffness is driven by only the smallest mesh element. A natural approach is to split the system into fast stiff and slower mildly stiff components. In this context, [A. Abdulle, M.J. Grote and G. Rosilho de Souza 2022] proposed the order one multirate explicit stabilized method (mRKC). We extend their approach to second order and introduce the new multirate ROCK2 method (mROCK2), which achieves high precision and allows a step-size strategy with error control. Numerical methods including the heat equation with local spatial mesh refinements confirm the accuracy and efficiency of the scheme.
