order model is not one in general obtainable by truncation of an
internally-balanced realization of the full order model.
Figure 2 -1 sets out several routes to a reduced-order realization. In
continuous time, a truncation of a balanced realization is again balanced.
This is not the case for discrete time, but otherwise it looks the same.

Singular Perturbation of Balanced Realization
Singular perturbation of a balanced realization is an attractive way to
produce a reduced order model. Suppose G(s) is defined by,
