Time-limited pseudo-optimal ℋ2-model order reduction

A model order reduction algorithm is presented that generates a reduced-order model of the original high-order model, which ensures high fidelity within the desired time interval. The reduced model satisfies a subset of the first-order optimality conditions for the time-limited ℋ2-model reduction problem. The algorithm uses a computationally efficient Krylov subspace-based framework to generate the reduced model, and it is applicable to large-scale systems. The reduced-order model is parameterised to enforce a subset of the first-order optimality conditions in an iteration-free way. The authors also propose an adaptive framework of the algorithm, which ensures a monotonic decay in the error irrespective of the choice of interpolation points and tangential directions. The efficacy of the algorithm is validated on benchmark model reduction problems.
