A CG-Method with ADI preconditioning for the solution of large sparse Lyapunov equations with symmetric coefficient matrices
Contact:
Jens Saak
November 8th, 2012
We consider balanced truncation model order reduction for symmetric second order systems. The occurring large-scale generalized and structured Lyapunov equations are solved with a specially adapted low-rank ADI type method. Stopping criteria for this iteration are investigated and a new result concerning the Lyapunov residual within the low-rank ADI method is established. We also propose a goal oriented stopping criterion which tries to incorporate the balanced truncation approach already during the ADI iteration. The model reduction approach using the ADI method with different stopping criteria is evaluated on several test systems.

Simultaneous iterative solution of the adjoint linear systems in the dual low-rank ADI iteration for Lyapunov equationsSolving dual large-scale Lyapunov equations is a main step for carrying out balanced truncation model order reduction
for linear, time-invariant control systems. Both Lyapunov equation can be solved simultaneously in one run of
the dual low-rank ADI iteration. Here we are going to investigate the simultaneous iterative solution of the
occurring adjoint linear systems with BiCG / QMR.
