Structure-Preserving Interpolation for Model Reduction of Parametric Bilinear Systems

Abstract: In this paper, we present an interpolation framework for structure-preserving model order reduction of parametric bilinear dynamical systems. We introduce a general setting, covering a broad variety of different structures for parametric bilinear systems, and then provide conditions on projection spaces for the interpolation of structured subsystem transfer functions such that the system structure and parameter dependencies are preserved in the reduced-order model. Two benchmark examples with different parameter dependencies are used to demonstrate the theoretical analysis.
