Summerschool "Reduced Basis Methods - Fundamentals and Applications"

Technische Universität München

September 16 - 19, 2013.

Parameter dependent differential equations arise in many applications, e.g., in civil engineering, in fluid mechanics, or in biology. In order to be able to rapidly simulate, control, and optimize such parameter dependent systems, some sort of model reduction has to be applied. In order to obtain reliable surrogate models, one has to be able to control the error and adapt the order of approximation.

This summerschool provides an introduction to the theory and to applications of reduced basis methods, which allow to give some rigorous answers to the above questions and to construct low dimensional approximate models with high fidelity.

The school is addressed towards students and graduates with a reasonable mathematical background. Besides a series of lectures, that provide a theoretical introduction into the field, we also provide programming tutorials, in order to allow to gather first experiences with the astonishing performance of RBMs.

Invited Speakers:

• Prof. Dr. Martin Grepl (RWTH Aachen University),
  
• Jun.-Prof. Dr. Bernard Haasdonk (University of Stuttgart),
  
• Dr. Gianluigi Rozza (SISSA, International School for Advanced Studies, Trieste, Italy) und
• Prof. Dr. Stefan Volkwein (University of Konstanz).

Topics:

• Introduction to RB Methods
• RB for coercive problems
• Approximation properties and error analysis
• Non-coercive problems
• Geometrical parametrization

Programme and timetable:

• Format: Lectures and Software tutorials (RBmatlab, rbMIT)
