This paper concerns the order reduction of single-input single-output (SISO) linear time-invariant continuous systems based on the impulse response Gramian. From the recursive relationship among the Gramians, a new formula is derived for computing the system matrix in controllability canonical form. The result is applied to the model reduction problem. Reduced models obtained approximate the reduced-order Gramians while preserving some initial time moments and Markov parameters of the original system.
