Deep Polytopic Autoencoders for Low-dimensional Linear Parameter-varying Approximations and Nonlinear Feedback Design

Polytopic autoencoders provide low-dimensional parametrizations of states in a polytope. For nonlinear PDEs, this is readily applied to low-dimensional linear parameter- varying (LPV) approximations as they have been exploited for efficient nonlinear …

Convolutional Autoencoders, Clustering, and POD for Low-dimensional Parametrization of Navier-Stokes Equations

Frequency-dependent Switching Control for Disturbance Attenuation of Linear Systems

Implicit and explicit matching of non-proper transfer functions in the Loewner framework

The reduced-order modeling of a system from data (also known as system identification) is a classical task in system and control theory and well understood for standard linear systems with the so-called Loewner framework as one of many established …

Low-order Linear Parameter Varying Approximations for Nonlinear Controller Design for Flows

The control of nonlinear large-scale dynamical models such as the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is a challenging task. The computational challenges in the controller design come from both the possibly large state space and the nonlinear …

A quadratic decoder approach to nonintrusive reduced-order modeling of nonlinear dynamical systems

Linear projection schemes like Proper Orthogonal Decomposition can efficiently reduce the dimensions of dynamical systems but are naturally limited, e.g., for convection-dominated problems. Nonlinear approaches have shown to outperform linear methods …

Space and Chaos-Expansion Galerkin POD Low-order Discretization of PDEs for Uncertainty Quantification

The quantification of multivariate uncertainties in partial differential equations can easily exceed any computing capacity unless proper measures are taken to reduce the complexity of the model. In this work, we propose a multidimensional Galerkin …

Example Setups of Navier- Stokes Equations with Control and Observation: Spatial Discretization and Representation via Linear-quadratic Matrix Coefficients

We provide spatial discretizations of nonlinear incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with inputs and outputs in the form of matrices ready to use in any numerical linear algebra package. We discuss the assembling of the system operators and the …

Wie steuert man einen Kran?

Die Steuerung einer Last an einem Kran ist ein technisch und mathematisch schwieriges Problem, da die Bewegung der Last nur indirekt beeinflusst werden kann. Anhand eines Masse-Feder-Systems illustrieren wir diese Schwierigkeiten und zeigen wie man …
