Discrete exterior geometry approach to structure-preserving discretization of distributed-parameter port-Hamiltonian systems [PDF]

, 2011
This paper addresses the issue of structure-preserving discretization of open distributed-parameter systems with Hamiltonian dynamics. Employing the formalism of discrete exterior calculus, we introduce a simplicial Dirac structure as a discrete analogue

Identification and data-driven model reduction of state-space representations of lossless and dissipative systems from noise-free data [PDF]

, 2011
We illustrate procedures to identify a state-space representation of a lossless- or dissipative system from a given noise-free trajectory; important special cases are passive- and bounded-real systems.
