This research work proposes a method to obtain a stable reduced-order interval model from its stable higher-order interval plant. The reduced-order interval numerator and denominator polynomials are determined by using Kharitonov’s polynomials and a general form of the Routh approximation method. The proposed reduction algorithm retains stability and full impulse response energy of the higher-order interval system in its reduced-order interval model. In addition to this, the proposed method has useful features like matching of time moments and mathematical simplicity. Moreover, a few numerical examples in the literature are taken into consideration and simulated through MATLAB to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
