Being frustrated about FEM's accuracy by the discussion, I've tried to play with "SpatialDiscretization" -> {"TensorProductGrid", "DifferenceOrder" -> "Pseudospectral"}
as it was recommended in the post. This attempt corresponds to initialconditions2 & method2 & region2
parameters for RunNDSolveValue
function. Boundary conditions here are still periodic here, but futurefurther complexification of the spatial domain is unavailable. Unfortunately, this hopeful scheme also crashes with the same error "At t == ~1200
, step size is effectively zero; singularity or stiff system suspected." and new warning "An insufficient number of boundary conditions have been specified for the direction of independent variable [Theta]. Artificial boundary effects may be present in the solution."
