    Geometric error of finite volume schemes for conservation laws on evolving surfaces
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Giesselmann, Jan; Müller, Thomas
    This paper studies finite volume schemes for scalar hyperbolic conservation laws on evolving hypersurfaces of R3. We compare theoretical schemes assuming knowledge of all geometric quantities to (practical) schemes defined on moving polyhedra approximating the surface. For the former schemes error estimates have already been proven, but the implementation of such schemes is not feasible for complex geometries. The latter schemes, in contrast, only require (easily) computable geometric quantities and are thus more useful for actual computations. We prove that the difference between approximate solutions defined by the respective families of schemes is of the order of the mesh width. In particular, the practical scheme converges to the entropy solution with the same rate as the theoretical one. Numerical experiments show that the proven order of convergence is optimal.

    An H2-type error bound for time-limited balanced truncation
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Redmann, Martin; Kürschner, Patrick
    When solving partial differential equations numerically, usually a high order spatial discretization is needed. Model order reduction (MOR) techniques are often used to reduce the order of spatially-discretized systems and hence reduce computational complexity. A particular MOR technique to obtain a reduced order model (ROM) is balanced truncation (BT). However, if one aims at finding a good ROM on a certain finite time interval only, time-limited BT (TLBT) can be a more accurate alternative. So far, no error bound on TLBT has been proved. In this paper, we close this gap in the theory by providing an H2 error bound for TLBT with two different representations. The performance of the error bound is then shown in several numerical experiments.

    Type II balanced truncation for deterministic bilinear control systems
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Redmann, Martin
    When solving partial differential equations numerically, usually a high order spatial discretisation is needed. Model order reduction (MOR) techniques are often used to reduce the order of spatially-discretised systems and hence reduce computational complexity. A particular MOR technique to obtain a reduced order model (ROM) is balanced truncation (BT), a method which has been extensively studied for deterministic linear systems. As so-called type I BT it has already been extended to bilinear equations, an important subclass of nonlinear systems. We provide an alternative generalisation of the linear setting to bilinear systems which is called type II BT. The Gramians that we propose in this context contain information about the control. It turns out that the new approach delivers energy bounds which are not just valid in a small neighbourhood of zero. Furthermore, we provide an H1-error bound which so far is not known when applying type I BT to bilinear systems.
