# TSComputeIJacobianConstant

Reuses a time-independent for a semi-implicit DAE or ODE

### Synopsis

    #include "petscts.h"
    PetscErrorCode TSComputeIJacobianConstant(TS ts,PetscReal t,Vec U,Vec Udot,PetscReal shift,Mat A,Mat B,void *ctx)

Collective on TS

### Input Arguments

| ts | - time stepping context
| t | - time at which to evaluate
| U | - state at which to evaluate
| Udot | - time derivative of state vector
| shift | - shift to apply
| ctx | - context

### Output Arguments

| A | - pointer to operator
| B | - pointer to preconditioning matrix
| flg | - matrix structure flag

### Notes

This function is intended to be passed to TSSetIJacobian() to evaluate the Jacobian for linear time-independent problems.

It is only appropriate for problems of the form

        M Udot = F(U,t)

where M is constant and F is non-stiff. The user must pass M to TSSetIJacobian(). The current implementation only works with IMEX time integration methods such as TSROSW and TSARKIMEX, since there is no support for de-constructing an implicit operator of the form

       shift*M + J

where J is the Jacobian of -F(U). Support may be added in a future version of PETSc, but for now, the user must store a copy of M or reassemble it when requested.
