    Towards time-limited H2-optimal model order reduction
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Goyal, Pawan; Redmann, Martin
    In order to solve partial differential equations numerically and accurately, a high order spatial discretization is usually needed. Model order reduction (MOR) techniques are often used to reduce the order of spatially-discretized systems and hence reduce computational complexity. A particular class of MOR techniques are H2-optimal methods such as the iterative rational Krylov subspace algorithm (IRKA) and related schemes. However, these methods are used to obtain good approximations on a infinite time-horizon. Thus, in this work, our main goal is to discuss MOR schemes for time-limited linear systems. For this, we propose an alternative time-limited H2-norm and show its connection with the time-limited Gramians. We then provide first-order optimality conditions for an optimal reduced order model (ROM) with respect to the time-limited H2-norm. Based on these optimality conditions, we propose an iterative scheme which upon convergences aims at satisfying these conditions. Then, we analyze how far away the obtained ROM is from satisfying the optimality conditions.We test the efficiency of the proposed iterative scheme using various numerical examples and illustrate that the newly proposed iterative method can lead to a better reduced-order compared to unrestricted IRKA in the time interval of interest.

    Low-dimensional approximations of high-dimensional asset price models
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2020) Redmann, Martin; Bayer, Christian; Goyal, Pawan
    We consider high-dimensional asset price models that are reduced in their dimension in order to reduce the complexity of the problem or the effect of the curse of dimensionality in the context of option pricing. We apply model order reduction (MOR) to obtain a reduced system. MOR has been previously studied for asymptotically stable controlled stochastic systems with zero initial conditions. However, stochastic differential equations modeling price processes are uncontrolled, have non-zero initial states and are often unstable. Therefore, we extend MOR schemes and combine ideas of techniques known for deterministic systems. This leads to a method providing a good pathwise approximation. After explaining the reduction procedure, the error of the approximation is analyzed and the performance of the algorithm is shown conducting several numerical experiments. Within the numerics section, the benefit of the algorithm in the context of option pricing is pointed out.
