Coupling of Numerical and Symbolic Techniques for Model Order Reduction in Circuit Design

In this paper, we will give a short motivation for the use of symbolic methods for model order reduction and present some of these techniques. Furthermore, we will discuss the hierarchy usually at hand for circuit design and present a workflow for the exploitation of this hierarchy. By applying it to a simple circuit example, we will show how model order reduction (MOR) methods can be profitably employed.
