This paper presents an order reduction method for linear equation systems parameterized by several variables, which stem from the finite element method. The proposed approach is based on multivariate Krylov subspaces and extends existing methods in the following two aspects. First, it contains a new algorithm for computing a stable basis for the reduced system, and, second, it generalizes the concept of Krylov subspaces of higher order to multi-parameter systems.
