  Hong and Emil,

You will need to answer this.

 Barry,
 
 Is the method exact if I have a time dependent mass matrix (dF/dU_t changes 
 each time step)? I'm not sure it's possible if TSSetIJacobian expects a 
 function which computes the combination of dF/dU and a*dF/dU_t. But, perhaps 
 there is something I'm missing.
 
 Otherwise, it looks very comprehensive. I like how you added the cost 
 integrand. If I recall correctly, the Trilinos package Rythmos is missing 
 this.
 
 Thanks!

   Dave,
 
We currently have discrete adjoint computations for explicit RK methods 
 and for implicit theta methods (backward Euler and Crank-Nicholson). The 
 development copy of the users manual has some discussion 
 (http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-master/docs/manual.pdf page 135) and 
 there are several examples.   I urge you to try them out now in master and 
 stay in contact with us to insure we provide what you need as we are actively 
 developing them.
 We plan a release for early June.

  Thanks!

In the adjoint derivation, we assumed that we have F = M U_t - f(t,U); 
so a*dF/dU_t is a*M, which holds if M=M(t). So in principle it should 
work. However, because M(t_n) and M(t_{n+1}) are different, the adjoint 
implementation might be slightly inconsistent -- and I'm saying this out 
of caution. We did not test it on problems with M=M(t). Do you have such 
an example interfaced with PETSc we can try?
