Stochastic balancing model reduction of stable systems

[Specification] [Arguments] [Method] [References] [Comments] [Example]

Purpose

  To compute a reduced order model (Ar,Br,Cr,Dr) for an original
  stable state-space representation (A,B,C,D) by using the
  stochastic balancing approach in conjunction with the square-root
  or the balancing-free square-root Balance & Truncate (B&T) or
  Singular Perturbation Approximation (SPA) model reduction methods.
  The state dynamics matrix A of the original system is an upper
  quasi-triangular matrix in real Schur canonical form and D must be
  full row rank.

  For the B&T approach, the matrices of the reduced order system
  are computed using the truncation formulas:

       Ar = TI * A * T ,  Br = TI * B ,  Cr = C * T .     (1)

  For the SPA approach, the matrices of a minimal realization
  (Am,Bm,Cm) are computed using the truncation formulas:

       Am = TI * A * T ,  Bm = TI * B ,  Cm = C * T .     (2)

  Am, Bm, Cm and D serve further for computing the SPA of the given
  system.

          On exit, if INFO = 0, NR is the order of the resulting
          reduced order model. NR is set as follows:
          if ORDSEL = 'F', NR is equal to MIN(NR,NMIN), where NR
          is the desired order on entry and NMIN is the order of a
          minimal realization of the given system; NMIN is
          determined as the number of Hankel singular values greater
          than N*EPS, where EPS is the machine precision
          (see LAPACK Library Routine DLAMCH);
          if ORDSEL = 'A', NR is equal to the number of Hankel
          singular values greater than MAX(TOL1,N*EPS).

          If INFO = 0, it contains the Hankel singular values,
          ordered decreasingly, of the phase system. All singular
          values are less than or equal to 1.

  T       (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDT,N)
          If INFO = 0 and NR > 0, the leading N-by-NR part of this
          array contains the right truncation matrix T in (1), for

Tolerances
  TOL1    DOUBLE PRECISION
          If ORDSEL = 'A', TOL1 contains the tolerance for
          determining the order of reduced system.
          For model reduction, the recommended value lies in the
          interval [0.00001,0.001].
          If TOL1 <= 0 on entry, the used default value is
          TOL1 = N*EPS, where EPS is the machine
          precision (see LAPACK Library Routine DLAMCH).
          If ORDSEL = 'F', the value of TOL1 is ignored.

  TOL2    DOUBLE PRECISION
          The tolerance for determining the order of a minimal
          realization of the phase system (see METHOD) corresponding
          to the given system.
          The recommended value is TOL2 = N*EPS.
          This value is used by default if TOL2 <= 0 on entry.
          If TOL2 > 0 and ORDSEL = 'A', then TOL2 <= TOL1.

Workspace
  IWORK   INTEGER array, dimension (MAX(1,2*N))
          On exit with INFO = 0, IWORK(1) contains the order of the
          minimal realization of the system.

  DWORK   DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDWORK)

          of LDWORK and DWORK(2) contains RCOND, the reciprocal
          condition number of the U11 matrix from the expression
          used to compute the solution X = U21*inv(U11) of the
          Riccati equation for spectral factorization.
          A small value RCOND indicates possible ill-conditioning
          of the respective Riccati equation.

  LDWORK  INTEGER
          The length of the array DWORK.
          LDWORK >= MAX( 2, N*(MAX(N,M,P)+5),
                         2*N*P+MAX(P*(M+2),10*N*(N+1) ) ).
          For optimum performance LDWORK should be larger.

  BWORK   LOGICAL array, dimension 2*N

Warning Indicator
  IWARN   INTEGER
          = 0:  no warning;
          = 1:  with ORDSEL = 'F', the selected order NR is greater
                than the order of a minimal realization of the
                given system. In this case, the resulting NR is
                set automatically to a value corresponding to the
                order of a minimal realization of the system.

Error Indicator
  INFO    INTEGER
          = 0:  successful exit;
          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal
                value;
          = 1:  the state matrix A is not stable (if DICO = 'C')
                or not convergent (if DICO = 'D'), or it is not in
                a real Schur form;
          = 2:  the reduction of Hamiltonian matrix to real
                Schur form failed;
          = 3:  the reordering of the real Schur form of the
                Hamiltonian matrix failed;
          = 4:  the Hamiltonian matrix has less than N stable
                eigenvalues;
          = 5:  the coefficient matrix U11 in the linear system
                X*U11 = U21, used to determine X, is singular to
                working precision;
          = 6:  the feedthrough matrix D has not a full row rank P;
          = 7:  the computation of Hankel singular values failed.

Method
  Let be the stable linear system

       d[x(t)] = Ax(t) + Bu(t)
       y(t)    = Cx(t) + Du(t),                             (3)

  where d[x(t)] is dx(t)/dt for a continuous-time system and x(t+1)
  for a discrete-time system. The subroutine AB09HX determines for
  the given system (3), the matrices of a reduced NR-rder system

       d[z(t)] = Ar*z(t) + Br*u(t)
       yr(t)   = Cr*z(t) + Dr*u(t),                         (4)

  such that

        HSV(NR) <= INFNORM(G-Gr) <= 2*[HSV(NR+1) + ... + HSV(N)],

  where G and Gr are transfer-function matrices of the systems
  (A,B,C,D) and (Ar,Br,Cr,Dr), respectively, and INFNORM(G) is the
  infinity-norm of G.

  If JOB = 'B', the square-root stochastic Balance & Truncate
  method of [1] is used and the resulting model is balanced.

  If JOB = 'F', the balancing-free square-root version of the
  stochastic Balance & Truncate method [1] is used.

  If JOB = 'S', the stochastic balancing method, in conjunction
  with the square-root version of the Singular Perturbation
  Approximation method [2,3] is used.

  If JOB = 'P', the stochastic balancing method, in conjunction
  with the balancing-free square-root version of the Singular
  Perturbation Approximation method [2,3] is used.

  By setting TOL1 = TOL2, the routine can be also used to compute
  Balance & Truncate approximations.

Numerical Aspects
  The implemented method relies on accuracy enhancing square-root
  or balancing-free square-root methods. The effectiveness of the
  accuracy enhancing technique depends on the accuracy of the
  solution of a Riccati equation. Ill-conditioned Riccati solution
  typically results when D is nearly rank deficient.
                                   3
  The algorithm requires about 100N  floating point operations.
