http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/540 The Russian poet Mayakovsky has once written “Lenin even now is more alive than all the living“. After the nice video from MIT, I can only paraphrase Mayakovsky “The Second Law even now is more alive than all the living“.

The text is written in August 2008 for the http://groups.google.com/group/mor4ansys group. I have just browsed a recent presentation of Rudy Eid A Survey on Model Order Reduction,of Linear Dynamical Systems http://www.rt.mw.tum.de/eid/Eid-GACM07.pdf It is a short presentation (21 slide) but it gives concise introduction in MOR and comparison of TBR and Krylov subspace methods. It should [...]

The text is written in August 2008 for the http://groups.google.com/group/mor4ansys group. I have just read a paper Rumi Zhang, Wei Wang, Anestis Dounavis, Graham A. Jullien Passive Reduced-Order Macromodeling Algorithm for Microelectromechanical Systems Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems, v. 17, N 3, 678-687, 2008. http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/JMEMS.2008.921673 and would like to make some comments. First, I like the [...]

The text is written in September 2008 for the http://groups.google.com/group/mor4ansys group. Dynamics of Very High Dimensional Systems by Earl H. Dowell, Deman Tang, 2003 The book is pretty systematic and it uses modal analysis as the basic tool. This is what I am actually missing, as I am not a mechanical engineer. I am considering [...]

The text is written in October 2008 for the http://groups.google.com/group/mor4ansys group. Sheldon Tan has many papers on model reduction http://www.ee.ucr.edu/~stan/publication_list.html One of the interesting topics that he is working on is hierarchical model reduction [1][2]. Once Tamara and I have tried to develop somewhat similar for a thermal problem [3] but it did not went [...]

The text is written in November 2008 for the http://groups.google.com/group/mor4ansys group. I have read the paper Y.-J. Yang* and Chi-Wei Kuo “Generating Scalable and Modular Macromodels for Microchannels using the Galerkin-based Technique”, IEEE Transaction on CAD (2008) Vol. 27, No. 9, pp. 1545-1554 http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TCAD.2008.927764 The paper describes a new way to generate a microfluidic macromodel [...]
