This presentation focuses on the development of tailored reduced-order models (ROMs) designed for bifurcating nonlinear parametric partial differential equations (PDEs). In this framework, multiple solutions can coexist for given physical/geometrical parametric values. Traditional certified reduced basis techniques struggle to accurately represent non-uniqueness phenomena, as error estimators become unreliable when bifurcations occur. Consequently, ROMs for bifurcating PDEs have always relied on compression strategies, such as proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) [1], or machine learning data-driven approaches [2]. The main goal of the talk is to propose a novel greedy algorithm for bifurcating systems based on the deflation strategy, a technique capable of finding the coexisting solution branches simultaneously [3]. These algorithms can (i) certify multiple behaviors of the system with an efficient exploration of the parameter space and (ii) identify the parameter responsible for the non-uniqueness of the solution through an adaptive strategy. The deflated-greedy method leverages several techniques, including deflation and continuation, to enrich the reduced space with bifurcating solutions. On the other hand, the adaptive-greedy approach exploits the non-differentiability of the solution as a function of the bifurcating parameter. The effectiveness of these strategies is tested on a classical benchmark defined by the Navier-Stokes equations in a sudden-expansion channel, featuring a symmetry-breaking phenomenon with three coexisting solution branches. The results are compared in terms of accuracy and error certification against state-of-the-art methodologies, e.g. standard greedy and POD. References.
