Abstract

Model order reduction is here understood as a computational technique to reduce the order of a dynamical system described by a set of ordinary or differential-algebraic equations to facilitate or enable its simulation, the design of a controller, or optimization and design of the physical system modeled. It focuses on representing the map from inputs into the system to its outputs, while its dynamics are treated as a black box so that the large-scale set of describing equations can be replaced by a much smaller set of analogous equations without sacrificing the accuracy of the input-to-output behavior.
