The Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) Galerkin Reduced Order Model (ROM) is a popular method for reducing the computational complexity of finite element analysis. It is particularly useful for solving parametrized partial differential equations (PDEs) that require multiple simulations.

Here's a detailed explanation of the method:

1. Scalar product with the mass matrix:

In the finite element method (FEM), the mass matrix (M) is used to represent the geometry and material properties of a system. The scalar product of two functions u and v, with respect to the mass matrix, is defined as:
⟨u, v⟩_M = ∫Ω u(x) * M * v(x) dx

where Ω represents the problem domain.

2. Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD):

POD is a technique used to extract the most energetically significant modes from a dataset, often obtained from high-fidelity simulations or experiments. In the context of FEM, the dataset consists of the solution snapshots for different parameter values.

- Collect solution snapshots: First, solve the high-fidelity FEM problem for various parameter values and store the solution snapshots in a matrix U (columns representing the snapshots).
- Compute the snapshot matrix: Compute the matrix product U^T * M * U.
- Perform eigendecomposition: Compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the snapshot matrix. Sort the eigenvalues in decreasing order, and their corresponding eigenvectors form the POD basis.
- Truncate the basis: Retain the first 'r' eigenvectors (modes) corresponding to the largest eigenvalues, where 'r' is the desired reduced dimension.

3. Projecting the linear and nonlinear operators in the reduced basis:

Now that we have the POD basis, we can project the linear and nonlinear operators in the reduced basis to obtain the ROM.

- Define the reduced basis matrix: Let Φ be the matrix containing the first 'r' POD modes as columns.
- Project the linear operator: For a linear operator A, the projection onto the reduced basis is given by A_r = Φ^T * A * Φ, where A_r is the reduced linear operator.
- Project the nonlinear operator: For a nonlinear operator N(u), the projection onto the reduced basis is given by N_r(u_r) = Φ^T * N(Φ * u_r), where N_r is the reduced nonlinear operator and u_r is the reduced solution vector.

With the reduced operators A_r and N_r(u_r), you can now solve the reduced-order problem instead of the original high-fidelity problem. The reduced-order problem is computationally less expensive and can be solved for various parameter values more efficiently.

After solving the reduced problem for the reduced solution u_r, you can reconstruct the full-order approximation of the solution using the reduced basis: u ≈ Φ * u_r.

By following these steps, you can implement a POD-Galerkin ROM for finite element analysis to reduce the computational cost associated with solving the problem for multiple parameter values.
