• Abstract: Computationally cheap yet accurate enough dynamical models are vital for real-time capable nonlinear optimization and model-based control. When given a computationally expensive high-order prediction model, a reduction to a lower-order simplified model can enable such real-time applications. Herein, we review state-of-the-art nonlinear model order reduction methods and provide a theoretical comparison of method properties. Additionally, we discuss both general-purpose methods and tailored approaches for (chemical) process systems and we identify similarities and differences between these methods. As manifold-Galerkin approaches currently do not account for inputs in the construction of the reduced state subspace, we extend these methods to dynamical systems with inputs. In a comparative case study, we apply eight established model order reduction methods to an air separation process model: POD-Galerkin, nonlinear-POD-Galerkin, manifold-Galerkin, dynamic mode decomposition, Koopman theory, manifold learning with latent predictor, compartment modeling, and model aggregation. Herein, we do not investigate hyperreduction (reduction of FLOPS). Based on our findings, we discuss strengths and weaknesses of the model order reduction methods.

  Reization (RP) Policy Gradient Methods (PGMs) have been widely adopted for continuous control tasks in robotics and computer graphics.

We propose a spectral normalization method to mitigate the exploding variance issue caused by long model unrolls.

• Non-linear manifold ROM with Convolutional Autoencoders and Reduced Over-Collocation method [0.0]
  Non-affine parametric dependencies, nonlinearities and advection-dominated regimes of the model of interest can result in a slow Kolmogorov n-width decay. We implement the non-linear manifold method introduced by Carlberg et al [37] with hyper-reduction achieved through reduced over-collocation and teacher-student training of a reduced decoder. We test the methodology on a 2d non-linear conservation law and a 2d shallow water models, and compare the results obtained with a purely data-driven method for which the dynamics is evolved in time with a long-short term memory network

  We propose a method that enables traditionally intrusive reduced-order models to be accurately approximated in a non-intrusive manner. The approach approximates the low-dimensional operators associated with projection-based reduced-order models (ROMs) using modern machine-learning regression techniques. In addition to enabling nonintrusivity, we demonstrate that the approach also leads to very low computational complexity, achieving up to $1000times$ reduction in run time.

• Operator inference for non-intrusive model reduction of systems with non-polynomial nonlinear terms [6.806310449963198]
  This work presents a non-intrusive model reduction method to learn low-dimensional models of dynamical systems with non-polynomial nonlinear terms that are spatially local. The proposed approach requires only the non-polynomial terms in analytic form and learns the rest of the dynamics from snapshots computed with a potentially black-box full-model solver. The proposed method is demonstrated on three problems governed by partial differential equations, namely the diffusion-reaction Chafee-Infante model, a tubular reactor model for reactive flows, and a batch-chromatography model that describes a chemical separation process.
