Comparative study on techniques of model order reduction using rational Krylov subspace method

Abstract

We present Model Reduction (MR) techniques of the 1st order system and 2nd order dynamical systems using the Balanced Truncation (BT) method [1, 2] and Projection onto the dominant Eigenspace of the Gramian (PDEG) method [3]. We get help from the well-known Rational Krylov Subspace Method (RKSM) [4] for BT and PDEG. We also mention the Lyapunov equations [1] with their solutions known as the system gramians. Finally, a comparison is shown between BT and PDEG methods using numerical experiments.
