We focus on the convergence analysis of the POD expansion for the parameterized solution of transient heat equations. The parameter of interest is the conductivity coefficient. We prove that this expansion converges with exponential accuracy, uniformly if the conductivity coefficient remains within a compact set of positive numbers. This convergence result is independent of the regularity of the temperature with respect to the space and time variables. We present some numerical experiments to show that a reduced number of modes allows to represent with high accuracy the family of solutions corresponding to parameters that lie in the compact set under study.
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.
