Optimization based model order reduction for stochastic systems
share
In this paper, we bring together the worlds of model order reduction for stochastic linear systems and ℋ_2-optimal model order reduction for deterministic systems. In particular, we supplement and complete the theory of error bounds for model order reduction of stochastic differential equations. With these error bounds, we establish a link between the output error for stochastic systems (with additive and multiplicative noise) and modified versions of the ℋ_2-norm for both linear and bilinear deterministic systems. When deriving the respective optimality conditions for minimizing the error bounds, we see that model order reduction techniques related to iterative rational Krylov algorithms (IRKA) are very natural and effective methods for reducing the dimension of large-scale stochastic systems with additive and/or multiplicative noise. We apply modified versions of (linear and bilinear) IRKA to stochastic linear systems and show their efficiency in numerical experiments.
