New technique for system simplification using Cuckoo search and ESA

Abstract

In this study, a new technique is suggested for simplification of linear time-invariant systems. Motivated by optimization and various system simplification techniques available in the literature, the proposed technique is formulated using Cuckoo search in combination with Lévy flight and Eigen spectrum analysis. The efficacy and powerfulness of the new technique is illustrated by three benchmark systems considered from previously published work and the results are compared in terms of performance indices.
