Error bounds in high-order Sobolev norms for POD expansions of parameterized transient temperatures

In this work, we analyze the convergence of the POD expansion for the solution to the heat conduction parameterized with respect to the thermal conductivity coefficient. We obtain error bounds for the POD approximation in high-order norms in space that assure an exponential rate of convergence, uniformly with respect to the parameter whenever it remains within a compact set of positive numbers. We present some numerical tests that confirm this theoretical accuracy.
