# TSInterpolate
Interpolate the solution computed during the previous step to an arbitrary location in the interval 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscts.h"  
PetscErrorCode TSInterpolate(TS ts, PetscReal t, Vec U)
```
Collective on ts


## Input Parameters

- ***ts -*** time stepping context
- ***t -*** time to interpolate to



## Output Parameter

- ***U -*** state at given time





## Developer Note
`TSInterpolate()` and the storing of previous steps/stages should be generalized to support delay differential equations and continuous adjoints.
