A Balanced Truncation Primer
Abstract
Balanced truncation, a technique from robust control theory, is a systematic method for producing simple approximate models of complex linear systems. This technique may have significant applications in physics, particularly in the study of large classical and quantum systems. These notes summarize the concepts and results necessary to apply balanced truncation.
