Hankel Singular Values of Phase Matrix of Gr

The νi, i=1,2,...,ns have been termed above the Hankel singular values of
the phase matrix associated with G. The corresponding quantities for Gr are
νi, i=1,..., nsr.

Further Error Bounds

The introduction to this chapter emphasized the importance of the error

Reduction of Minimum Phase, Unstable G

For square minimum phase but not necessarily stable G, it also is possible
to use this algorithm (with minor modification) to try to minimize (for Gr
of a certain order) the error bound
