# TSErrorWeightedENorm
compute a weighted error norm based on supplied absolute and relative tolerances 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscts.h"  
PetscErrorCode TSErrorWeightedENorm(TS ts, Vec E, Vec U, Vec Y, NormType wnormtype, PetscReal *norm, PetscReal *norma, PetscReal *normr)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***ts -*** time stepping context
- ***E -*** error vector
- ***U -*** state vector, usually ts->vec_sol
- ***Y -*** state vector, previous time step
- ***wnormtype -*** norm type, either `NORM_2` or `NORM_INFINITY`



## Output Parameters

- ***norm  -*** weighted norm, a value of 1.0 achieves a balance between absolute and relative tolerances
- ***norma -*** weighted norm, a value of 1.0 means that the error meets the absolute tolerance set by the user
- ***normr -*** weighted norm, a value of 1.0 means that the error meets the relative tolerance set by the user



## Options Database Key

- ***-ts_adapt_wnormtype <wnormtype> -*** 2, INFINITY
