Nonlinear model reduction for control of distributed systems: A computer‐assisted study

Abstract
Model reduction methodologies for the partial differential equations modeling distributed parameter systems constitute an important first step in controller design. A systematic computer‐assisted study illustrating the use of two such methodologies (Approximate Inertial Manifolds and the Karhunen‐Loève expansion) in controlling (stabilizing) a nonlinear reaction‐diffusion problem is presented. The approximation quality of the models, issues of computational implementation of the reduction procedure, as well as issues of closed‐loop stability are addressed.
