Modeling of discrete-time fractional-order state space systems using the balanced truncation method

This paper presents a new approach to approximation of linear time-invariant (LTI) discrete-time fractional-order state space SISO systems by means of the SVD-originated balanced truncation (BT) method applied to an FIR-based representation of the fractionalorder system. This specific representation of the system enables to introduce simple, analytical formulas for determination of the Cholesky factorizations of the controllability and observability Gramians, which contributes to significant improvement of the computational efficiency of the BT method. As a model reduction result for the fractional-order systems we obtain a low-order rational (integer-order) state space system. Simulation experiments show a high efficiency of the introduced methodology both in terms of the approximation accuracy of the model and low time complexity of the approximation algorithm.
