    Characterization of exact lumpability for vector fields on smooth manifolds
    (Elsevier, 2016) Horstmeyer, L.; Atay, F. M.
    We characterize the exact lumpability of smooth vector fields on smooth manifolds. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for lumpability and express them from four different perspectives, thus simplifying and generalizing various results from the literature that exist for Euclidean spaces. We introduce a partial connection on the pullback bundle that is related to the Bott connection and behaves like a Lie derivative. The lumping conditions are formulated in terms of the differential of the lumping map, its covariant derivative with respect to the connection and their respective kernels. Some examples are discussed to illustrate the theory. © 2016 Published by Elsevier B.V.

    Lumpability of linear evolution equations in banach spaces
    (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2017) Atay, F. M.; Roncoroni, L.
    We analyze the lumpability of linear systems on Banach spaces, namely, the possibility of projecting the dynamics by a linear reduction opera-tor onto a smaller state space in which a self-contained dynamical description exists. We obtain conditions for lumpability of dynamics defined by unbounded operators using the theory of strongly continuous semigroups. We also derive results from the dual space point of view using sun dual theory. Furthermore, we connect the theory of lumping to several results from operator factoriza-tion. We indicate several applications to particular systems, including delay differential equations. © 2017, American Institute of Mathematical Sciences. All rights reserved.
