Abstract

We present a structure-preserving Krylov subspace method for solving large-scale Lyapunov equations where the (approximate) solution is of low rank. This problem arises, e.g., from model order reduction techniques based on Balanced Truncation for large-scale descriptor systems such as those in the simulation of large electrical circuits. The method presented here uses a low-rank approach based on the FGMRES method. For preconditioning the Low Rank Cholesky Factor-Alternating Direct Implicit is applied which turns out to preserve the low-rank structures and allows for the use of inner approximate factorizations.
