Workshop on Modeling & Model Reduction
27th - 28th, May 2010


Introduction

Mathematical modeling is the process of constructing mathematical objects whose behaviors or properties correspond in some way to a particular real-world system. They are required to gain understanding of a complex real world problem and also to predict and simulate what that system will do in future.

Description

Deriving a reasonable mathematical model is fundamental to the analysis and design of a dynamic system. In practice, one can obtain a fairly complex and a large scale model for the system. Some examples are network systems, telecommunications, transmission lines, wave propagations, economic systems, chemical reactors, and distillation columns. These include systems governed by partial differential equations, delay equations, or integro-differential equations. The complexity of the system makes difficult to obtain its good understanding. The analysis and design of such a system are easier if a lower order model that provides a good approximation is derived. The process of deriving low order model from high order model is known as model reduction.
