# DMPlexComputeL2DiffVec

This function computes the cellwise L_2 difference between a function u and an FEM interpolant solution u_h, and stores it in a Vec.

## Synopsis

    #include "petscdmplex.h"
    PetscErrorCode DMPlexComputeL2DiffVec(DM dm, PetscReal time, PetscErrorCode (**funcs)(PetscInt, PetscReal, const PetscReal[], PetscInt, PetscScalar *, void *), void **ctxs, Vec X, Vec D)

Collective

## Input Parameters

- dm - The `DM`

- time - The time

- funcs - The functions to evaluate for each field component: `NULL` means that component does not contribute to error calculation

- ctxs - Optional array of contexts to pass to each function, or `NULL`.

- X - The coefficient vector u_h

## Output Parameter

- D - A `Vec` which holds the difference ||u - u_h||_2 for each cell
