# DMComputeExactSolution

Compute the exact solution for a given `DM`, using the `PetscDS` information.

## Synopsis

    #include "petscdm.h"
    #include "petscdmlabel.h"
    #include "petscds.h"
    PetscErrorCode DMComputeExactSolution(DM dm, PetscReal time, Vec u, Vec u_t)

## Input Parameters

- dm - The `DM`

- time - The time

## Output Parameters

- u - The vector will be filled with exact solution values, or `NULL`

- u_t - The vector will be filled with the time derivative of exact solution values, or `NULL`
