H 2 model-order reduction<br />

8.1 Introduction<br />

The model-order reduction problem deals with finding an approximating system G(s)<br />

of low order <strong>to</strong> a given system H(s) of high order. We start from a linear timeinvariant<br />

(LTI) system of order N. The order N corresponds <strong>to</strong> the McMillan degree<br />

of the transfer function, the number of states in a minimal state-space form. From<br />

an input-output point of view, such a system is fully characterized by its transfer<br />

function. In this <strong>thesis</strong> we focus on the single-input, single-output (SISO) case only<br />

but the various results can be generalized <strong>to</strong> the multiple-input, multiple-output<br />

(MIMO) case <strong>to</strong>o.<br />

In the SISO case, the transfer function is a real rational proper function of order<br />

N. Thus, when solving the model-order reduction problem one intends <strong>to</strong> find lower<br />

order approximations of order n
