Workshop on the Reduced Basis Method - May 9, 2008
Center for Biomedical Computing will host a workshop on the Reduced Basis method. The Reduced Basis method is developed for parameter dependent PDEs where the solution is sought for many different choices of the underlying parameters. The key idea is to store the solutions of the PDE for a given set of parameters, and then find the reduced basis approximation for a new parameter as a linear combination of these precomputed solutions. These are the offline and online stages of the method. A lot of work is done in the offline stage, where all the basis functions are computed and stored. In the online stage, a problem with very few degrees of freedom has to be solved. When solving the same problem for many different choices of the underlying parameter, this provides a rapid approximation of the true solution. Useful tools for choosing the initial set of parameters used to compute the basis functions are crucial to the method. Error bounds for some output of interest are used both to certify the quality of the approximations, and to choose the number of basis functions used in the approximation. The focus of the workshop will be on the application of the Reduced Basis method to different problems. This will give an idea of what kind of problems benefit from this method, and how the method is implemented.
