General transformation for block diagonalization of multitime-scale singularly perturbed linear systems
In this technical note, a general transformation for block-diagonalization (decoupling) of multitime-scale singularly perturbed linear systems composed of N subsystems is presented. The resulting decoupling corresponds to subsystem time-scales and produces N completely independent subsystems operating in different time scales.
