The Search for a Reduced Order Controller: Comparison of Balanced Reduction Techniques

When designing a control for a physical system described by a PDE, it is often necessary to reduce the size of the controller for the PDE system. This is done so that real time control can be achieved. One approach often taken by engineers is to reduce the approximating finite-dimensional system us...
