“…Other types of the balanced truncation method such as positive real and bounded real balancing, stochastic balancing and LQG balancing are proposed in [9,12,13] , respectively. From the viewpoint of interpolating the transfer function, Krylov subspace methods are extended to descriptor systems in [14,15] . One problem of the interpolation-based methods is the selection of the interpolation points and the interpolation directions for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems in the tangential interpolation scheme [16] .…”
