Model Reduction of Descriptor Systems

Model reduction is of fundamental importance in many control applications. We consider model reduction methods for linear continuous-time descriptor systems. The methods are based on balanced truncation techniques and closely related to the controllability and observability Gramians and Hankel singular values of descriptor systems. The Gramians can be computed by solving the generalized Lyapunov equations with special right-hand sides. The numerical solution of generalized Lyapunov equations is also discussed. A numerical example is given.
