Reduced Basis PMOR method

The Reduced Basis Method (RBM) we present here is applicable to static and time-dependent linear PDEs.

Time-Independent PDEs

The typical model problem of the RBM consists of a parametrized PDE stated in weak form with bilinear form $a(\cdot, \cdot; \mu)$ and linear form $f(\cdot; \mu)$. The parameter $\mu$ is considered within a domain $\mathcal{D}$ and we are interested in an output quantity $s(\mu)$ which can be expressed via a linear functional of the field variable $l(\cdot; \mu)$.

The exact, infinite-dimensional formulation, indicated by the superscript e, is given by

$\begin{cases} \text{For } \mu \in \mathcal{D} \subset \mathbb{R}^P, \text{ evaluate } \\ s^e(\mu) = l(u^e(\mu);\mu), \\ \text{where } u^e(\mu) \in X^e(\Omega) \text{ satisfies } \\ a(u^e(\mu),v;\mu) = f(v;\mu), \forall v \in X^e. \end{cases}$
