It follows by a result of [BoD87] that the impulse response error for t>0 
satisfies:
Evidently, Hankel norm approximation ensures some form of 
approximation of the impulse response too.
Unstable System ApproximationA transfer function G(s) with stable and unstable poles can be reduced by 
applying stable( ) to separate G(s) into a stable and unstable part. The 
former is reduced and then the unstable part can be added back on. For 
additional information about the ophank( ) function, refer to the Xmath 
Help.
