A posteriori error estimation for model order reduction of parametric systems

Abstract

AbstractThis survey discusses a posteriori error estimation for model order reduction of parametric systems, including linear and nonlinear, time-dependent and steady systems. We focus on introducing the error estimators we have proposed in the past few years and comparing them with the most related error estimators from the literature. For a clearer comparison, we have translated some existing error bounds proposed in function spaces into the vector space $${\mathbb {C}}^n$$ C n and provide the corresponding proofs in $$\mathbb C^n$$ C n . Some new insights into our proposed error estimators are explored. Moreover, we review our newly proposed error estimator for nonlinear time-evolution systems, which is applicable to reduced-order models solved by arbitrary time-integration solvers. Our recent work on multi-fidelity error estimation is also briefly discussed. Finally, we derive a new inf-sup-constant-free output error estimator for nonlinear time-evolution systems. Numerical results for three examples show the robustness of the new error estimator.
