Abstract

We present a new approach to treating nonlinear operators in reduced basis approximations of parametrized evolution equations. Our approach is based on empirical interpolation of nonlinear differential operators and their Fréchet derivatives. Efficient offline/online decomposition is obtained for discrete operators that allow an efficient evaluation for a certain set of interpolation functionals. An a posteriori error estimate for the resulting reduced basis method is derived and analyzed numerically. We introduce a new algorithm, the PODEI-greedy algorithm, which constructs the reduced basis spaces for the empirical interpolation and for the numerical scheme in a synchronized way. The approach is applied to nonlinear parabolic and hyperbolic equations based on explicit or implicit finite volume discretizations. We show that the resulting reduced scheme is able to capture the evolution of both smooth and discontinuous solutions. In case of symmetries of the problem, the approach realizes an automatic and intuitive space-compression or even space-dimensionality reduction. We perform empirical investigations of the error convergence and run-times. In all cases we obtain a good run-time acceleration.
