PGD-based “Computational Vademecum” for efficient design, optimization and control

Abstract

D espite the impressive progresses attained by simulation capabilities and techniques, some challenging problems remain today intractable. These prob- lems, that are common to many branches of science and engineering, are of differ- ent nature. Among them, we can cite those related to high-dimensional models, on which mesh-based approaches fail due to the exponential increase of degrees of freedom. Other challenging scenarios concern problems requiring many direct solutions (optimization, inverse identifica- tion, uncertainty quantification !) or those needing very fast solutions (real time simulation, simulation based control !)
