Even though the method has been illustrated to show rapid convergence in various examples, a proof of convergence has not been provided yet. In this note, we show that in the case of state-space symmetric systems, IRKA is a locally convergent fixed point iteration to a local minimum of the underlying $\\mathcal{H}_2$ approximation problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-07-27T01:30:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "iterative rational krylov algorithm", "convergence", "interpolatory model reduction approach", "approximation problem", "locally convergent fixed point iteration" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1107.5363F" } } }
