Introduction to MORE: A MOdel REduction toolbox

In many highly technological engineering fields, the use of dedicated computer-based dynamical system modeling software often leads to large dimensional Linear Time Invariant (LTI) models. These kind of models, composed of a large amount of variables might render drastically inefficient many analysis, control design and optimization techniques. As a matter of fact, considerable attention has been devoted to the development of model reduction - or approximation - techniques to eliminate irrelevant state variables. This paper presents a new freely-available MATLAB©-based toolbox for approximation of medium and large-scale LTI dynamical models, called MORE (MOdel REduction), which implements a collection of very recent advanced algorithms for LTI dynamical model reduction purpose.
