Model Order Reduction

Model reduction or model order reduction is a mathematical theory to find a low-dimensional approximation for a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The main idea is that a high-dimensional state vector is actually belongs to a low-dimensional subspace as shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 1. Idea of a low-dimensional subspace.

Provided that the low-dimensional subspace is known, the ordinary differential equations can be probjected on it. This is showin in Fig. 2 in the case of a linear system of ODEs. The projection gives us a required low-dimensional approximation.

The goal of the mathematical theory is to find such a low-dimensional subspace. Available methods for model reduction are classified as follows.
