Practicable Simulation-Free Model Order Reduction by Nonlinear Moment Matching (1901.10750v1)

Abstract: In this paper, a practicable simulation-free model order reduction method by nonlinear moment matching is developed. Based on the steady-state interpretation of linear moment matching, we comprehensively explain the extension of this reduction concept to nonlinear systems presented in [1], provide some new insights and propose some simplifications to achieve a feasible and numerically efficient nonlinear model reduction algorithm. This algorithm relies on the solution of nonlinear systems of equations rather than on the expensive simulation of the original model or the difficult solution of a nonlinear partial differential equation.
