Nonlinear Model Reduction
Nonlinear model reduction aims to create computationally efficient approximations of complex, high-dimensional nonlinear systems, primarily focusing on reducing the computational cost of simulations and control design. Current research emphasizes data-driven approaches, employing neural networks (including autoencoders and DeepONets) and techniques like empirical interpolation methods, often combined with dimensionality reduction methods such as Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) or Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA), to build accurate reduced-order models. These advancements are significant for accelerating simulations in various fields, such as fluid dynamics and material science, and enabling real-time control of complex systems.
