An index-aware parametric model order reduction method for parameterized quadratic differential–algebraic equations

摘要

Modeling of sophisticated applications, such as coupled problems arising from nanoelectronics can lead to quadratic differential algebraic equations (DAEs). The quadratic DAEs may also be parameterized, due to variations in material properties, system configurations, etc., and they are usually subject to multi-query tasks, such as optimization, or uncertainty quantification. Model order reduction (MOR), specifically parametric model order reduction (pMOR), is known as a useful tool for accelerating the simulations in a multi-query context. However, pMOR dedicated to this particular structure, has not yet been systematically studied. Directly applying the existing pMOR methods may produce parametric reduced-order models (pROMs) which are less accurate, or may be very difficult to simulate. The same problem was already observed for linear DAEs, and could be eliminated by introducing splitting MOR techniques such as the index-aware MOR (IMOR) methods. We extend the IMOR methods to parameterized quadratic DAEs, thereby producing accurate and easy to simulate index-aware parametric reduced-order models (IpROMs). The proposed approach is so far limited to index-1 one-way coupled problems, but these often appear in computational nanoelectronics. We illustrate the performance of the new approach using industrial models for nanoelectronic structures.
