ARMS - Automatic Residue-Minimization based Sampling for Multi-Point Modeling Techniques.

This paper describes an automatic methodology for optimizing sample point selection for using in the framework of model order reduction (MOR). The procedure, based on the maximization of the dimension of the subspace spanned by the samples, iteratively selects new samples in an efficient and automatic fashion, without computing the new vectors and with no prior assumptions on the system behavior. The scheme is general, and valid for single and multiple dimensions, with applicability on rational nominal MOR approaches, and on multi-dimensional sampling based parametric MOR methodologies. The paper also presents an integrated algorithm for multi-point MOR, with automatic sample and order selection based on the transfer function error estimation. Results on a variety of industrial examples demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
