This book is intended to help researchers overcome the entrance barrier to Proper Generalized
Decomposition (PGD) by providing a valuable tool to begin the programming task. Detailed
Matlab Codes are included for every chapter in the book in which the theory previously
described is translated into practice. Examples include parametric problems non-linear model
order reduction and real-time simulation among others. Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD)
is a method for numerical simulation in many fields of applied science and engineering. As a
generalization of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition or Principal Component Analysis to an
arbitrary number of dimensions PGD is able to provide the analyst with very accurate solutions
for problems defined in high dimensional spaces parametric problems and even real-time
simulation.
