Application of an adaptive model hierarchy to parametrized optimal control problems

Abstract: In this contribution we apply an adaptive model hierarchy, consisting of a full-order model, a reduced basis reduced order model, and a machine learning surrogate, to parametrized linear-quadratic optimal control problems. The involved reduced order models are constructed adaptively and are called in such a way that the model hierarchy returns an approximate solution of given accuracy for every parameter value. At the same time, the fastest model of the hierarchy is evaluated whenever possible and slower models are only queried if the faster ones are not sufficiently accurate. The performance of the model hierarchy is studied for a parametrized heat equation example with boundary value control.
