Ok, I was not able to get such case to work in my firedrake-ts implementation. 
Maybe I am missing something in my code. I looked at the TSAdjoint paper 
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1912.07696.pdf Equation 2.1 and at the adjoint method for 
the theta method (Equation 2.15) where the mass matrix is not differentiated 
w.r.t. the design parameter “p” and decided to ask the question. Is the actual 
implementation different from what is in the paper?

Thanks
Miguel

The current interface is general and should be applicable to this case as soon 
as users can provide IJacobianP, which is dF(Udot,U,P,t)/dP. Were you able to 
generate it in firedrake? If so, could you provide an example that I can test?

Thanks,
Hong

Yes, that is the case I am considering. The special case I am concerned about 
is as following: the heat equation in variational form and in firedrake/UFL 
notation is as follows: p*u_t*v*dx + inner(grad(u), grad(v))*dx = 0, where u is 
the temperature, u_t is its time derivative, v is just the test function, dx is 
the integration domain and p is the design parameter. If “p” were 
discontinuous, one can’t just factor “p” into the second term due to the 
divergence theorem. Meaning that p*u_t*v*dx + inner(grad(u), grad(v))*dx = 0 is 
different than u_t*v*dx + inner(1.0 / p * grad(u), grad(v))*dx = 0, which is 
what ideally one would obtain in order to adapt to the current interface in 
TSAdjoint.

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) ?

Thanks,
Hong

Hello,

I am working on hooking up TSAdjoint with pyadjoint through the firedrake-ts 
interface (https://github.com/IvanYashchuk/firedrake-ts). 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
