Abstract
A method is proposed to obtain a model of a dynamic system with a state vector of high dimension. The model is derived by "aggregating" the original system state vector into a lower-dimensional vector. Some properties of the aggregation method are investigated in the paper. The concept of aggregation, a generalization of that of projection, is related to that of state vector partition and is useful not only in building a model of reduced dimension, but also in unifying several topics in the control theory such as regulators with incomplete state feedback, characteristic value computations, model controls, and bounds on the solution of the matrix Riccati equations, etc. Using the quantitative definition of weak coupling proposed by Milne, a suboptimal control policy for the weakly coupled system is derived. Questions of performance degradation and of stability of such suboptimally controlled systems are also answered in the paper.

Sliding Mode Control Design via Reduced Order Model Approach

TL;DR: In this paper, the design of sliding mode control for the higher-order system via reduced-order model is presented. But it has not been shown that a sliding-mode control designed for the reduced order model gives similar performance for higher order systems.

Representation of linear dynamical systems by aggregated models

TL;DR: In this paper the problem of representing high-order linear dynamical systems by reduced models is investigated through the use of an aggregation technique; optimal aggregated models, corresponding to some given deterministic or stochastic input, are obtained by solving a linear matrix equation.

On the selection of states to be retained in a reduced-order model

TL;DR: In this paper, a criterion for selecting the most important states of a high-order system to be retained in a reduced model is proposed, and a procedure for obtaining the reduced model, based on this criterion, is described.

Decomposition Principle for Linear Programs

TL;DR: A technique is presented for the decomposition of a linear program that permits the problem to be solved by alternate solutions of linear sub-programs representing its several parts and a coordinating program that is obtained from the parts by linear transformations.
