“…Modal methods can be applied either to second-order models (common in multibody systems [48,24,1,33,84]) or to state-space representations. Corresponding methods were intensively developed from the 1960s onwards ( [25,73,23,20] and Chapter 4 of Volume 1 of Model order reduction) and are applied in other areas of engineering as well, for instance in the reduction of power systems [64] and for the purpose of control design, e. g., [71,66,58,7]. With the advent of balanced truncation and of Krylov subspace methods ( [78,44], [42,45], overviews in [4,8,10], and Chapters 2 and 3 of Volume 1 of Model order reduction) the approximation quality and the applicability to high-and very high-order linear systems improved significantly and opened numerous fields of applications.…”
