Transformation of a polynomial ODE system to a special quadratic form has been successfully used recently as a preprocessing step for model order reduction methods. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no practical algorithm for performing this step automatically with any optimality guarantees.
We present an algorithm that, given a system of polynomial ODEs, finds a transformation into a quadratic ODE system by introducing new variables which are monomials of the original variables. The algorithm is guaranteed to produce an optimal transformation of this form. The algorithm is implemented, and we demonstrate it on examples from the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
