Frequency-Weighted Error Reduction

4-11

Xmath Model Reduction Module

Reduce the order of a transfer function matrix C(s) through
frequency-weighted balanced truncation, a stable frequency weight
V(s) being prescribed.

The syntax is more accented towards the first use. For the second use,
the user should set S = 0, NS = 0. This results in (automatically)
SCLR = NSCLR = 0. The user will also select the

type="input

spec"

.

Let C

r

(s) be the reduced order approximation of C(s) which is being

sought. Its order is either specified in advance, or the user responds to
a prompt after presentation of the weighted Hankel singular values.
Then the different types concentrate on (approximately) minimizing
certain error measures, through frequency weighted balanced
truncation. These are shown in Table 4-1.

These error measures have certain interpretations, as shown in Table 4-2.

In case C(s) is not a compensator in a closed-loop and the error measure

is of interest, you can work with

type="input spec"

and C', V' in lieu

of C and V.

There is no restriction on the stability of C(s) [or indeed of P(s)] in the
algorithm, though if C(s) is a controller the closed-loop must be stabilizing.
Also, V(s) must be stable. Hence all weights (on the left or right of
C(j

ω) – C

r

(j

ω) in the error measures) will be stable. The algorithm,

however, treats unstable C(s) in a special way, by reducing only the stable
part of C(s) (under additive decomposition) and copying the unstable part
into C

r

(s).
