Cross-Gramian-Based Dominant Subspaces (1809.08066v4)

Abstract: A standard approach for model reduction of linear input-output systems is balanced truncation, which is based on the controllability and observability properties of the underlying system. The related dominant subspace projection model reduction method similarly utilizes these system properties, yet instead of balancing, the associated subspaces are directly conjoined. In this work we extend the dominant subspace approach by computation via the cross Gramian for linear systems, and describe an a-priori error indicator for this method. Furthermore, efficient computation is discussed alongside numerical examples illustrating these findings.
