Abstract
New techniques for the model simplification problem are presented. If the given system is expressed by a high-order transfer function, the technique is to expand the function into a continued fraction and then ignore some quotients. If the system is in the state equations form, the method is realized by partitioning the matrix and discarding some parts. The new approach not only offers a simple procedure and a good approximation but also gives a unified viewpoint of the general analysis of linear systems.
