Abstract

Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) provides a method for deriving low order models of non-linear dynamical systems, where a so-called POD basis is computed by a singular value decomposition and these basis functions are used in a Galerkin ansatz for the non-linear dynamics. In this paper we prove estimates for the condition number of the stiffness matrices arising in the POD Galerkin discretization. (© 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
