Hi Miguel, Thank you for the nice work. I do not understand what you propose to do here. What is the obstacle to using current TSSetIJacobianP() for the corner case you mentioned? Are you considering a case in which the mass matrix is parameterized, e.g. M(p) udot - f(t,u) = g(t,u) ?

I have done most of the implementation and now I am just testing for corner cases. One of them is when the design variable is multiplying the first derivative term. It would be the case ofF(Udot,U,P,t) = G(U,P,t) in https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-master/docs/manualpages/Sensitivity/TSSetIJacobianP.html . I imagine that one could think of refactoring the “P” in the left hand side to the right hand side, but this is not trivial when “P” is a discontinuous field over the domain. I think it would be better to include the case of F(Udot,U,P,t) = G(U,P,t) in TSSetIJacobianP and I am volunteering to do it. Given the current implementation of TSAdjoint, is this something feasible? Thanks Miguel Miguel A.
