Abstract

Linear time-invariant quadratic output (LTIQO) systems generalize linear time-invariant systems to nonlinear regimes. Problems of this class occur in multiple applications naturally, such as port-Hamiltonian systems, optimal control, and stochastical problems. We introduce an H\mathcal{H}_\infty-norm for LTIQO systems with one or multiple outputs and propose an algorithm to optimize a reduced order model (ROM) to be close in the H\mathcal{H}_\infty-norm to a given full order model. We illustrate the applicability and the performance with an established numerical example and compare the resulting ROMs with results from balanced truncation and H2\mathcal{H}_2-focussed algorithms.
