2 Outline Greedy construction of a reduced basis catalog

3 The reduced basis space Outline Greedy construction of a reduced basis catalog

4 The reduced basis space Matched filtering: gravitational waveform templates from a catalog are correlated with detector data Templates chosen so that few signals are missed Minimal match (MM) characterizes the event loss for a given catalog Many templates needed, scales like (1 MM) (Parameter dimension)/2 Desire for... Faster and cheaper searches, generate alerts for EM counterparts (LLOID 1 ), use higher dimensional waveforms, reduced burden of overlap computation for parameter estimation 1 K. Cannon et al., Toward Early-Warning Detection of Gravitational Waves from Compact Binary Coalescence, arxiv: v1.

5 The reduced basis space Reduced basis method Highlights include... Generation of an accurate and compact reduced basis space of waveforms Significantly fewer templates (basis) for a given MM Selection of nearly optimal parameter points Non linear space of waveforms can be represented as a small linear space with arbitrarily high accuracy

6 The reduced basis space The reduced basis space and an algorithm to find it

7 The reduced basis space Problem statement Given: P parameters µ = {µ 1,...,µ P } and the space of all normalized waveforms H Chirp, ringdown, reduced models, analytic waveforms, etc. Each waveform is denoted h µ H GOAL: Find an N dimensional linear space W N to accurately represent H Ansatz: Basis vectors of WN are waveforms chosen from H W N is called the reduced basis space

8 The reduced basis space When should we look for a reduced basis space? Projection operator P N : H W N for an orthonormal basis e i of W N P N h N < e i,h > e i < g,f > i=1 b a gf S n (f) df Remark: P N h is the best approximation to h Kolmogorov N width specifies error for an optimal W N d N (H) = min W N max µ H P Nh µ h µ If solutions have smooth dependence on parameters one expects d N (H) Ae bn

9 The reduced basis space A practical approach to finding W N Finding the best space is computationally challenging, so Sample H at a finite set of (training space) points T Now we seek to approximate HT = {h µ H : µ T } by W N 2. Build W N by solving N easy problems (Greedy approach) Suppose we have Wi. The algorithm optimally chooses W i+1 and continues to W N Sequence of hierarchical spaces are constructed W1 W 2... W N W N nearly optimal 2 compared to WN Kol. If N-width decays exponentially so does the approximation error for W N. 2 P. Binev et al., Convergence rates for greedy algorithms in reduced basis methods.

10 The reduced basis space (setup) Choose a parameter and waveform space (continuous and discrete) Initialize reduced basis with choice of µ 1 and thus W 1 = span({h 1 }) To go from W i to W i+1...

11 The reduced basis space The greedy error ε i max µ T h µ P i h µ

12 The reduced basis space The greedy error ε i max µ T h µ P i h µ While ε i Tol i i +1

13 The reduced basis space The greedy error ε i max µ T h µ P i h µ While ε i Tol i i For all µ T compute h µ P i h µ

14 The reduced basis space The greedy error ε i max µ T h µ P i h µ While ε i Tol i i For all µ T compute h µ P i h µ 2. Find the parameter µ i+1 which maximizes the error of step 1

15 The reduced basis space The greedy error ε i max µ T h µ P i h µ While ε i Tol i i For all µ T compute h µ P i h µ 2. Find the parameter µ i+1 which maximizes the error of step 1 3. Let h i+1 = h µi+1 and W i+1 = span({h 1,...,h i+1 })

16 The reduced basis space The greedy error ε i max µ T h µ P i h µ While ε i Tol i i For all µ T compute h µ P i h µ 2. Find the parameter µ i+1 which maximizes the error of step 1 3. Let h i+1 = h µi+1 and W i+1 = span({h 1,...,h i+1 }) W N approximates H T with an error of better than Tol Outputs a collection of points { µ i } N i=1 and corresponding waveforms {h i } N i=1 such that W N = span ( {h i } N ) i=1

17 The reduced basis space Greedy construction

18 The reduced basis space Remarks Straightforward to implement Constructing W N is O(N) Resulting reduced basis is an application specific spectral basis Simplest matched filtering search between the signal s and every member of the training space < s,p N h j >= N s,e i e i,h j i=1 Since e i,h j has been precomputed offline, filtering now involves significantly fewer integrals
