# TSForwardSetInitialSensitivities
Set initial values for tangent linear sensitivities 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscts.h"  
PetscErrorCode TSForwardSetInitialSensitivities(TS ts, Mat didp)
```
Collective on ts


## Input Parameters

- ***ts -*** the `TS` context obtained from `TSCreate()`
- ***didp -*** parametric sensitivities of the initial condition





## Notes
`TSSolve()` allows users to pass the initial solution directly to `TS`. But the tangent linear variables cannot be initialized in this way.
This function is used to set initial values for tangent linear variables.
