# TSSetCostGradients
Sets the initial value of the gradients of the cost function w.r.t. initial values and w.r.t. the problem parameters for use by the `TS` adjoint routines. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscts.h"  
PetscErrorCode TSSetCostGradients(TS ts, PetscInt numcost, Vec *lambda, Vec *mu)
```
Logically Collective on ts


## Input Parameters

- ***ts -*** the `TS` context obtained from `TSCreate()`
- ***numcost -*** number of gradients to be computed, this is the number of cost functions
- ***lambda -*** gradients with respect to the initial condition variables, the dimension and parallel layout of these vectors is the same as the ODE solution vector
- ***mu -*** gradients with respect to the parameters, the number of entries in these vectors is the same as the number of parameters





## Notes
the entries in these vectors must be correctly initialized with the values lamda_i = df/dy|finaltime  mu_i = df/dp|finaltime

After `TSAdjointSolve()` is called the lamba and the mu contain the computed sensitivities
