# TSAdjointSolve
Solves the discrete ajoint problem for an ODE/DAE 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscts.h"  
PetscErrorCode TSAdjointSolve(TS ts)
```
Collective
`

## Input Parameter

- ***ts -*** the `TS` context obtained from `TSCreate()`



## Options Database Key

- ***-ts_adjoint_view_solution <viewerinfo> -*** views the first gradient with respect to the initial values





## Notes
This must be called after a call to `TSSolve()` that solves the forward problem

By default this will integrate back to the initial time, one can use `TSAdjointSetSteps()` to step back to a later time
