Abstract

We study and compare two different model reduction techniques for bilinear systems, specifically generalized balancing and $ \mathcal{H}_2 $-based model reduction, and apply it to semi-discretized controlled Fokker-Planck and Liouville–von Neumann equations. For this class of transport equations, the control enters the dynamics as an advection term that leads to the bilinear form. A specific feature of the systems is that they are stable, but not asymptotically stable, and we discuss aspects regarding structure and stability preservation in some depth as these aspects are particularly relevant for the equations of interest. Another focus of this article is on the numerical implementation and a thorough comparison of the aforementioned model reduction methods.

Table 1. Lowest twelve eigenvalues (in magnitude) of the discretization matrix $ A $ of the FPE example for inverse temperature $ \beta = 4 $ showing three clusters of four members each. Comparison of full versus reduced dynamics using the BT and H2 method. Results for the SP method (not shown) are very close to those for the BT method. For all practical purposes, the reduced systems for $ d>100 $ are virtually indistinguishable from the full-rank system
