We present a new iterative model order reduction method for large-scale linear time-invariant dynamical systems, based on a combined singular value decomposition–adaptive-order rational Arnoldi (SVD-AORA) approach. This method is an extension of the SVD-rational Krylov method. It is based on two-sided projections: the SVD side depends on the observability Gramian by the resolution of the Lyapunov equation, and the Krylov side is generated by the adaptive-order rational Arnoldi based on moment matching. The use of the SVD provides stability for the reduced system, and the use of the AORA method provides numerical efficiency and a relative lower computation complexity. The reduced model obtained is asymptotically stable and minimizes the error ($H_{2}$and$H_{\infty }$) between the original and the reduced system. Two examples are given to study the performance of the proposed approach.


It is very important task to study the behavior of the processes occurring in the industry. To attain this task, the knowledge of the transfer function of the system should be there. When working in robust environment, these transfer functions becomes so tedious that it becomes very difficult to obtain these transfer functions and hence affects the study of the behavior of these system. Due to this, the requirement for reduction of these transfer function becomes a necessity to analyze the behavior of foresaid systems and it becomes easy to do the desired modifications in the system i.e addition of any feature, desired changes in the behavior etc., furthermore the thing to be kept in consideration while doing the reduction in transfer function that the behavior viz. peak overshoot, settling time, steady state error of the two systems (reduced and the original system) should be approximately same, so it is prime importance that the applied model order reduction technique should provide a more accurate approximation of original higher order system. The paper presents here the different categories of model order reduction techniques that can be applied to achieve the motto of model order reduction of higher order systems. The techniques presented are categorized into the four different categories to understand them and their merits and demerits and these will help in proper selection of the model order reduction technique to obtain the most accurate reduced order approximation of large scale system.
