Balanced truncation model order reduction in limited frequency and time intervals for discrete-time commensurate fractional-order systems (Q2311047)

Summary: In this paper we investigate an implementation of new model order reduction techniques to linear time-invariant discrete-time commensurate fractional-order state space systems to obtain lower dimensional fractional-order models. Since the models of physical systems correctly approximate the physical phenomena of the modeled systems for restricted time and frequency ranges only, a special attention is given to time- and frequency-limited balanced truncation and frequency-weighted methods. Mathematical formulas for calculation of the time- and frequency-limited, as well as frequency-weighted controllability and observability Gramians, are extended to fractional-order systems. An instructive simulation experiment corroborates the potential of the introduced methodology.
