ISBN-13: 978-0-08-044297-6, ISBN: 0-08-044297-8

"Using singular perturbation arguments, we show that the variables in the energy balance of these networks evolve in the fast time scale, while the terms in the material balance equations can exhibit both fast and slow transients. We present a procedure for deriving reduced-order, non-stiff models for the fast and slow dynamics, the latter typically of low order, and a framework for rational control system design, that accounts for ..."
