Model reduction of descriptor systems by interpolatory projection methods

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper, we investigate interpolatory projection framework for model reduction of descriptor systems. With a simple numerical example, we first illustrate that employing subspace conditions from the standard state space settings to descriptor systems generically leads to unbounded H2 or H-infinity errors due to the mismatch of the polynomial parts of the full and reduced-order transfer functions. We then develop modified interpolatory subspace conditions based on the deflating subspaces that guarantee a bounded error. For the special cases of index-1 and index-2 descriptor systems, we also show how to avoid computing these deflating subspaces explicitly while still enforcing interpolation. The question of how to choose interpolation points optimally naturally arises as in the standard state space setting. We answer this question in the framework of the H2-norm by extending the Iterative Rational Krylov Algorithm (IRKA) to descriptor systems. Several numerical examples are used to illustrate the theoretical discussion.


The authors consider an interpolatory projection framework for model reduction of descriptor systems. Based on modified interpolatory subspace conditions on deflating subspaces, the authors extend the previous \(\mathcal{H}_2\) model reduction method to descriptor systems. Moreover, for the index-1 and index-2 descriptor systems, the authors show how to use interpolatory model reduction without computing the deflating subspaces.
