Model-Order Reduction For Hyperbolic Relaxation Systems

Abstract: We propose a novel framework for model-order reduction of hyperbolic differential equations. The approach combines a relaxation formulation of the hyperbolic equations with a discretization using shifted base functions. Model-order reduction techniques are then applied to the resulting system of coupled ordinary differential equations. On computational examples including in particular the case of shock waves we show the validity of the approach and the performance of the reduced system.
