About this book

This book provides a basic introduction to reduced basis (RB) methods for problems involving the repeated solution of partial differential equations (PDEs) arising from engineering and applied sciences, such as PDEs depending on several parameters and PDE-constrained optimization. 

The book presents a general mathematical formulation of RB methods, analyzes their fundamental theoretical properties, discusses the related algorithmic and implementation aspects, and highlights their built-in algebraic and geometric structures. 

More specifically, the authors discuss alternative strategies for constructing accurate RB spaces using greedy algorithms and proper orthogonal decomposition techniques, investigate their approximation properties and analyze offline-online decomposition strategies aimed at the reduction of computational complexity. Furthermore, they carry out both a priori and a posteriori error analysis. 

The whole mathematical presentation is made more stimulating by the use of representative examples of applicative interest in the context of both linear and nonlinear PDEs. Moreover, the inclusion of many pseudocodes allows the reader to easily implement the algorithms illustrated throughout the text. The book will be ideal for upper undergraduate students and, more generally, people interested in scientific computing.

All these pseudocodes are in fact implemented in a MATLAB package that is freely available at https://github.com/redbkit

Reviews

“This textbook provides a basic introduction to reduced basis methods for partial differential equation. Written for undergrad and grad students in this fast growing field of numerical analysis and scientific computing, the methods described allow the authors to solve in real time or in a many-query context a parametric system or equation or to calculate a related output of interest. … MATLAB software is provided as a companion to the book for a selected class of problem.” (Gianluigi Rozza, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2016)
