MOR Toolbox at a glance

The MOR Toolbox provides functions for analysing, simplifying and constructing Linear Time Invariant (LTI) dynamical models representing the Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) behaviour of complex dynamical systems. More specifically, the toolbox solves the following different LTI-oriented problems:

• [Model Order Reduction] The construction of a low complexity/order LTI dynamical model, from a (large-scale) finite dimensional dynamical model described by linear Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) or Differential Algrebraic Equations (DAE).
• [Model Approximation] The construction of a (simplified) LTI dynamical model, from a set of frequency-domain input-output data, or any rational or irrational dynamical model.
• [Model Analysis] The stability estimation of any rational or irrational dynamical model.

Additional (mathematical and practical) details are given in the rest of the documentation.

Use the MOR Toolbox... When and why?

You may use the model reduction, approximation and construction algorithms embedded in the MOR Toolbox in a non-intrusive way, to construct from frequency-domain data and simplify your LTI dynamical models, before using them in your workflow for simulation, optimisation, control, analysis, etc.

Simplified rational models allow for faster simulation and optimisation. They usually lead to better accuracy, reducing rounding and numerical errors propagation, and result in limited computational burden.
