We address issues of construction and systematic evaluation of low-dimensional dynamic models using Galerkin projections on empirical orthogonal eigenfunctions (also known as proper orthogonal decomposition modes or Karhunen-Loeve modes). The reduced order dynamical systems are used first to compute the open-loop bifurcation diagrams and then to design feedback controllers stabilizing unstable limit cycles. We outline the steps for discrete-time controller design and computational linear stability analysis of the resulting hybrid (continuous-discrete) closed-loop systems. }, year = {1998}, journal = {Physical Review EPhysical Review E}, volume = {58}, pages = {361-368}, month = {07/1998}, isbn = {1063-651X}, language = {English}, }
