Fast balanced stochastic truncation via a quadratic extension of the alternating direction implicit iteration

— Balanced truncation (BT) model order reduction (MOR) is known for its superior accuracy and computable error bounds. Balanced stochastic truncation (BST) is a particular BT procedure that provides a general, structure-independent MOR framework to preserve both passivity and stability of original models. Its application toward large scale systems, however, has been limited by the complexity of solving large size continuous time algebraic Riccati equations (CAREs). This paper introduces a novel quadratic extension of the alternating direction implicit (ADI) iteration, called QADI, that efficiently solves a CARE. A Cholesky factor variant of QADI, called CFQADI, further exploits low rank matrices and and produces solution in factor form that greatly accelerates BST. Remarkable efficiency of the proposed BST/(CF)QADI integration is demonstrated with numerical examples.
