Frequency Interval Gramians Based Structure Preserving Model Order Reduction for Second Order Systems

Abstract

AbstractA new structure preserving model order reduction technique for second order systems in limited frequency interval is presented. Frequency limited Gramians (FLGs) and corresponding continuous time algebraic lyapunov equations (CALEs) are developed. For solution of CALEs and Cholesky factorization of FLGs, computationally efficient approximation scheme is proposed. Multiple transformations based on balancing of frequency limited position or velocity Gramians are defined in order to compute Hankel singular values (HSVs). Frequency limited second order balanced truncation based on magnitudes of HSVs is performed for order reduction. Moreover, stability conditions for reduced order models (ROMs) are stated and algorithms for achieving stability in ROMs are proposed. Results are compared with existing technique to certify the usefulness of the proposed technique.
