Model reduction by iterative error system approximation

Abstract

The analysis of a posteriori error estimates used in reduced basis methods leads to a model reduction scheme for linear time-invariant systems involving the iterative approximation of the associated error systems. The scheme can be used to improve reduced-order models (ROMs) with initial poor approximation quality at a computational cost proportional to that for computing the original ROM. We also show that the iterative approximation scheme is applicable to parametric systems and demonstrate its performance using illustrative examples.
