Realization independent single time-delay dynamical model interpolation and H2-optimal approximation.
Résumé
In this paper, the realization-free model approximation problem, as stated in [1], [2], is revisited in the case where the interpolating model might be time-delay dependent. To this aim, the Loewner framework, initially settled for delay-free realization, is firstly generalized to the single delay case. Secondly, the (infinite) model approximation H2 optimality conditions are established through the use of the Lambert functions. Finally, a numerically effective iterative scheme, named dTF-IRKA, similar to the TF-IRKA [2], is proposed to reach a part of the aforementioned optimality conditions. The proposed method validity and interest are assessed on different numerical examples.
