Model reduction of nonstationary LPV systems 
 Mazen Farhood and Geir E. Dullerud
  Abstract
  
This paper focuses on the  model reduction of nonstationary linear
parameter-varying (NSLPV) systems.  We provide a generalization of the balanced truncation procedure for
the model reduction of stable NSLPV systems, along with  a priori error bounds.  Then, for illustration purposes, 
this method is applied to reduce the model of a two-mass translational system. Furthermore, we give an approach 
for the  model reduction of stabilizable and detectable  systems, which requires the development and use of 
coprime factorizations for NSLPV models.   For the general class of eventually periodic LPV systems, which
includes periodic and finite horizon systems as special cases, our results can be explicitly computed using
semidefinite programming.
