Summary.In this paper we demonstrate model order reduction for a nonlinear academic model of a diode chain. Two reduction methods, which are suitable for nonlinear differential algebraic equation systems are used, the Trajectory PieceWise Linear approach and the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition with Missing Point Estimation.

Due to refined modelling of semiconductor devices and increasing packing densities, reduced order modelling of large nonlinear systems is of great importance in the design of integrated circuits (ICs). Despite the linear case, methodologies for nonlinear problems are only beginning to develop. The most practical approaches rely either on linearisation, making techniques from linear model order reduction applicable, or on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), preserving the nonlinear characteristic. In this paper we focus on POD. We demonstrate the missing point estimation and propose a new adaption of POD to reduce both dimension of the problem under consideration and cost for evaluating the full nonlinear system.

Here eigenvalues are the starting point. The eigenvalue problems related to large-scale dynamical systems are usually too large to be solved completely. The algorithms described in this section are efficient and effective methods for the computation of a few specific dominant eigenvalues of these large-scale systems. It is shown how these algorithms can be used for computing reduced-order models with modal approximation and Krylov-based methods. Section 3.3, written by Maryam Saadvandi and Joost Rommes, concerns passivity preserving model order reduction using the spectral zero method. It detailedly discusses two algorithms, one by Antoulas and one by Sorenson. These two approaches are based on a projection method by selecting spectral zeros of the original transfer function to produce a reduced transfer function that has the specified roots as its spectral zeros. The reduced model preserves passivity. Section 3.4, written by Roxana Ionutiu, Joost Rommes and Athanasios C. Antoulas, refines the spectra...

Summary. We demonstrate Model Order Reduction for a nonlinear system of differential-algebraic equations of a diode chain by Proper Orthogonal Decomposition with Adapted Missing Point Estimation. The collected time snapshots also allow for an efficient impression of the sensitivity of objective functions.
