# TSInterpolate
Interpolate the solution computed during the previous step to an arbitrary location in the interval
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscts.h"
PetscErrorCode TSInterpolate(TS ts, PetscReal t, Vec U)
```
Collective
## Input Parameters
- ***ts -*** time stepping context
- ***t -*** time to interpolate to
## Output Parameter
- ***U -*** state at given time
## Developer Note
`TSInterpolate()` and the storing of previous steps/stages should be generalized to support delay differential equations and continuous adjoints.
