Abstract: We develop and assess an optimization-based approach to parametric geometry reduction. Given a family of parametric domains, we aim to determine a parametric diffeomorphism

P h i

that maps a fixed reference domain

O m e g a

into each element of the family, for different values of the parameter; the ultimate goal of our study is to determine an effective tool for parametric projection-based model order reduction of partial differential equations in parametric geometries. For practical problems in engineering, explicit parameterizations of the geometry are likely unavailable: for this reason, our approach takes as inputs a reference mesh of

O m e g a

and a point cloud

{y_{i}^{m r a w}}_{i = 1}^{Q}

that belongs to the boundary of the target domain

V

and returns a bijection

P h i

that approximately maps

O m e g a

in

V

. We propose a two-step procedure: given the point clouds

{x_{j}}_{j = 1}^{N} s u b s e t p a r t i a l O m e g a

and

{y_{i}^{m r a w}}_{i = 1}^{Q} s u b s e t p a r t i a l V

, we first resort to a point-set registration algorithm to determine the displacements

{v_{j}}_{j = 1}^{N}

such that the deformed point cloud

{y_{j} := x_{j} + v_{j}}_{j = 1}^{N}

approximates

p a r t i a l V

; then, we solve a nonlinear non-convex optimization problem to build a mapping

P h i

that is bijective from

O m e g a

in

m a t h b b R^{d}

and (approximately) satisfies

P h i (x_{j}) = y_{j}

for

j = 1, l d o t s, N

.We present a rigorous mathematical analysis to justify our approach; we further present thorough numerical experiments to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
