A space-time certified reduced basis method for quasilinear parabolic partial differential equations
share
In this paper, we propose a certified reduced basis (RB) method for quasilinear parabolic problems. The method is based on a space-time variational formulation. We provide a residual-based a-posteriori error bound on a space-time level and the corresponding efficiently computable estimator for the certification of the method. We use the Empirical Interpolation method (EIM) to guarantee the efficient offline-online computational procedure. The error of the EIM method is then rigorously incorporated into the certification procedure. The Petrov-Galerkin finite element discretization allows to benefit from the Crank-Nicolson interpretation of the discrete problem and to use a POD-Greedy approach to construct the reduced-basis spaces of small dimensions. It computes the reduced basis solution in a time-marching framework while the RB approximation error in a space-time norm is controlled by the estimator. Therefore the proposed method incorporates a POD-Greedy approximation into a space-time certification.
