Model reduction via balanced realizations: an extension and frequency weighting techniques

Abstract

Two model-reduction methods for discrete systems related to balanced realizations are described. The first is a technique which utilizes the least controllable and observable subsystem in deriving a balanced discrete reduced-order model. For this technique as L/sup infinity / norm bound on the reduction error is given. The second method is a frequency-weighting technique for discrete- and continuous-time systems where the input-normal or output-normal realizations are modified to include a simple frequency weighting. For this technique, L/sup infinity / norm bounds on the weighted reduction errors are obtained.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
