 - Model order reduction is an enormously growing field that is particularly suitable for numerical - simulations in real-life applications such as engineering and various natural science disciplines. - Here, partial differential equations are often parameterized towards, e.g., a physical parameter. - Furthermore, it is likely to happen that the repeated utilization of standard numerical methods - like the finite element method (FEM) is considered too costly or even inaccessible. - This thesis presents recent advances in model order reduction methods with the primary aim - to construct online-efficient reduced surrogate models for parameterized multiscale phenomena - and accelerate large-scale PDE-constrained parameter optimization methods. In particular, - we present several different adaptive RB approaches that can be used in an error-aware trustregion - framework for progressive construction of a surrogate model used during a certified - outer optimization loop. In addition, we elaborate on several different enhancements for the - trust-region reduced basis (TR-RB) algorithm and generalize it for parameter constraints. - Thanks to the a posteriori error estimation of the reduced model, the resulting algorithm can be - considered certified with respect to the high-fidelity model. Moreover, we use the first-optimizethen- - discretize approach in order to take maximum advantage of the underlying optimality - system of the problem. - In the first part of this thesis, the theory is based on global RB techniques that use an accurate - FEM discretization as the high-fidelity model. In the second part, we focus on localized model - order reduction methods and develop a novel online efficient reduced model for the localized - orthogonal decomposition (LOD) multiscale method. The reduced model is internally based on - a two-scale formulation of the LOD and, in particular, is independent of the coarse and fine - discretization of the LOD. - The last part of this thesis is devoted to combining both results on TR-RB methods and - localized RB approaches for the LOD. To this end, we present an algorithm that uses adaptive - localized reduced basis methods in the framework of a trust-region localized reduced basis - (TR-LRB) algorithm. The basic ideas from the TR-RB are followed, but FEM evaluations of - the involved systems are entirely avoided. - Throughout this thesis, numerical experiments of well-defined benchmark problems are used - to analyze the proposed methods thoroughly and to show their respective strength compared to - approaches from the literature.
