Reduced-Order Modeling of Large-Scale Network Systems

Large-scale network systems describe a wide class of complex dynamical systems composed of many interacting subsystems. A large number of subsystems and their high-dimensional dynamics often result in highly complex topology and dynamics, which pose challenges to network management and operation. This chapter provides an overview of reduced-order modeling techniques that are developed recently for simplifying complex dynamical networks. In the first part, clustering-based approaches are reviewed, which aim to reduce the network scale, i.e., find a simplified network with a fewer number of nodes. The second part presents structure-preserving methods based on generalized balanced truncation, which can reduce the dynamics of each subsystem.
