Reλi(A22)<0   and    .
Usually, we expect that,
in the sense that the intuitive argument hinges on this, but it is not necessary.
Then a singular perturbation is obtained by replacing   by zero; this 
means that:
Accordingly,
(1-2)
Equation 1-2 may be an approximation for Equation 1-1. This means that:
• The transfer-function matrices may be similar.
• If Equation1-2 is excited by some u(·), with initial condition x1(to), and 
if Equation 1-1 is excited by the same u(·) with initial condition given 
by,
•x
1(to) and x2(to) = –A–122A21x1(to)–A
22–1B2u(to),
then x1(·) and y(·) computed from Equation1-1 and from Equation 1-2 
should be similar.
• If Equation1-1 and Equation 1-2 are excited with the same u(·), have 
the same x1(to) and Equation 1-1 has arbitrary x2, then x1(·) and y(·) 
computed from Equation 1-1 and Equation 1-2 should be similar after 
a possible initial transient.
As far as the transfer-function matrices are concerned, it can be verified that 
they are actually equal at DC.
