FEATURES

MORE toolbox stands for MOdel REduction Toolbox. It is a Matlab-based (version 2011b) toolbox which aims at approximating medium and large-scale LTI  dynamical systems. No specific Matlab toolbox is required but the classical Control System Toolbox. You can, under use condition terms, freely download the evaluation version.

The toolbox implements many iterative-like methods, known to be much faster and potentially more accurate than standard approaches.

  • The limited version approximates systems up to 50 states, and also handles some stadard COMPleib models for benchmark purpose.
  • The full version has been tested on systems up to 20,000 states and industrial problems encountered in aerospace problems, handles sparse representation, achieves frequency bounded approximation, implements reduction from data and from state-space inputs.
