# DMTSSetIFunction
set `TS` implicit function evaluation function 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscts.h" 
PetscErrorCode DMTSSetIFunction(DM dm, TSIFunction func, void *ctx)
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***dm -*** `DM` to be used with `TS`
- ***func -*** function evaluating f(t,u,u_t)
- ***ctx -*** context for residual evaluation



## Calling sequence of `func`
```none
PetscErrorCode func(TS ts, PetscReal t, Vec u, Vec u_t, Vec F,void *ctx);
```

- ***ts  -*** the `TS` context obtained from `TSCreate()`
- ***t   -*** time at step/stage being solved
- ***u   -*** state vector
- ***u_t -*** time derivative of state vector
- ***F   -*** function vector
- ***ctx -*** [optional] user-defined context for matrix evaluation routine





## Note
`TSSetFunction()` is normally used, but it calls this function internally because the user context is actually
associated with the `DM`.  This makes the interface consistent regardless of whether the user interacts with a `DM` or
not. If DM took a more central role at some later date, this could become the primary method of setting the residual.
