In this paper, we propose a new model-order reduction technique for linear dynamic systems. The idea behind this technique is to transform the dynamic system function from the s-domain into the z-domain via the bilinear transformation, then use Prony’s [1, 2] or Shank’s [3] least-squares approximation methods instead of the commonly employed Padé approximation method, and finally transform the ...

In this paper the discretisation of switched and non-switched linear positive systems using Padé approximations is considered. Padé approximations to the matrix exponential are sometimes used by control engineers for discretising continuous time systems and for control system design. We observe that this method of approximation is not suited for the discretisation of positive dynamic systems, f...

The Padé approximation is a useful method for creating new inequalities and improving certain inequalities. In this paper we use the Padé approximant to give the refinements of some remarkable inequalities involving inverse trigonometric functions, it is shown that the new inequalities presented in this paper are more refined than that obtained in earlier papers.

The paper reviews the relation between Padé-type approximants of a power series and interpolatory quadrature formulas with free nodes, and that between Padé approximants and Gaussian quadrature methods. Quadrature methods are well-known. They are used for obtaining an approximate value of a definite integral, and are described in any book of numerical analysis. In this talk, we will show that P...

in this paper, the nonlinear differential equation for the convection of the temperature distribution of a straight fin  with the thermal conductivity depends on the temperature is solved using adomian decomposition method and padé approximation(padm) for boundary problems. actual results are then compared with results obtained previously  using digital solution by runge–kuttamethod and a diffe...
