Stochastic Galerkin method and port-Hamiltonian form for linear dynamical systems of second order

Abstract: We investigate linear dynamical systems of second order. Uncertainty quantification is applied, where physical parameters are substituted by random variables. A stochastic Galerkin method yields a linear dynamical system of second order with high dimensionality. A structure-preserv-ing model order reduction (MOR) produces a small linear dynamical system of second order again. We arrange an associated port-Hamiltonian (pH) formulation of first order for the second-order systems. Each pH system implies a Hamiltonian function describing an internal energy. We examine the properties of the Hamiltonian function for the stochastic Galerkin systems. We show numerical results using a test example, where both the stochastic Galerkin method and structure-preserving MOR are applied.
