A reduced-order extrapolated natural boundary element method based on POD for the parabolic equation in the 2D unbounded domain

Abstract

In this article, we devote ourselves to the research of order reduction of natural boundary element (NBE) based on a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) for the parabolic equation in the two-dimensional (2D) unbounded domain. For this purpose, we first build a NBE format for the parabolic equation in the 2D unbounded domain and discuss the existence, stability, and convergence of the NBE solutions. And then, we build a reduced-order NBE extrapolated (RONBEE) format based on POD, analyze the errors between the classical NBE and RONBEE solutions, and supply the implementation procedure for the RONBEE format. Finally, we utilize some numerical experiments to validate that the numerical computational consequences are consistent with the theoretical ones such that the effectiveness and feasibility of the RONBEE format are further verified.
