Structure Preserving Model Order Reduction by Parameter Optimization
share
Model order reduction (MOR) methods that are designed to preserve structural features of a given full order model (FOM) often suffer from a lower accuracy when compared to their non structure preserving counterparts. In this paper, we present a framework for MOR based on direct parameter optimization. This means that the elements of the system matrices are iteratively varied to minimize an objective functional that measures the difference between the FOM and the reduced order model (ROM). Structural constraints are encoded in the parametrization of the ROM. The method only depends on frequency response data and can thus be applied to a wide range of dynamical systems. We illustrate the effectiveness of our method on a port-Hamiltonian and on a symmetric second order system in a comparison with other structure preserving MOR algorithms.
