Abstract

Model order reduction of a linear time-invariant system consists in approximating its p ×m rational transfer function H(s) of high degree by another p ×m rational transfer function \(\widehat{H}(s)\) of much smaller degree. Minimizing the \(\mathcal{H}_{2}\)-norm of the approximation error can be achieved iteratively. The convergence behavior of the algorithm depends on the choice of the initial condition. If a large scale dynamical system is obtained by discretizing a partial differential equation on a fine mesh, the efficiency can be improved by taking advantage of several discretizations on coarser meshes. This idea is illustrated on the advection–diffusion equation.
