Abstract
A semi-continuous formulation is introduced for finding bases which minimise the error in a specific output functional of a reduced-order model. The formulation is advantageous in that it can be easily applied to nonlinear problems and functionals. A general description of the approach is given, then explicit formulations are derived for the convection-diffusion and Burgers equations. Numerical results are given for both linear and non-linear functionals. These show substantial reductions in error, depending on the functional considered. Optimisation of bases for a reduced-order model based on an approximated governing equation is also described, for which large increases in accuracy are obtained.
