Usually, we expect that,
in the sense that the intuitive argument hinges on this, but it is not necessary.
Then a singular perturbation is obtained by replacing
by zero; this
means that:
Accordingly,
(1-2)
Equation 1-2 may be an approximation for Equation 1-1. This means that:
•
The transfer-function matrices may be similar.
•
If Equation 1-2 is excited by some u(·), with initial condition x

(t

), and
if Equation 1-1 is excited by the same u(·) with initial condition given
by,

then x

should be similar.
•
If Equation 1-1 and Equation 1-2 are excited with the same u(·), have
the same x

(t

) and Equation 1-1 has arbitrary x

, then x
1
(·) and y(·)
computed from Equation 1-1 and Equation 1-2 should be similar after
a possible initial transient.
As far as the transfer-function matrices are concerned, it can be verified that
they are actually equal at DC.
