      Complexity of distributed parameter bond graph models 

      Louca, Loucas S. (The Society for Modeling and Simulation International, 2014)
      Modeling metrics and algorithms that assist the development of dynamic system models are essential for efficient use of modeling and simulation in everyday engineering tasks. Various modeling procedures have been proposed ...

      Energy-based model reduction methodology for automated modeling 

      Louca, Loucas S.; Stein, J. L.; Hulbert, G. M. (2010)
      In recent years, algorithms have been developed to help automate the production of dynamic system models. Part of this effort has been the development of algorithms that use modeling metrics for generating minimum complexity ...

      Extension and application of an algorithm for systematic identification of weak coupling and partitions in dynamic system models 

      Rideout, D. G.; Stein, J. L.; Louca, Loucas S. (2009)
      This paper reviews and extends a technique to detect weak coupling (one-way coupling or complete decoupling) among elements of a dynamic system model, and to partition and reduce models in which weak coupling is found. The ...

      A review of proper modeling techniques 

      Ersal, T.; Fathy, H. K.; Rideout, D. G.; Louca, Loucas S.; Stein, J. L. (2008)
      A dynamic system model is proper for a particular application if it achieves the accuracy required by the application with minimal complexity. Because model complexity often-but not always-correlates inversely with simulation ...

      Systematic identification of decoupling in dynamic system models 

      Rideout, D. G.; Stein, J. L.; Louca, Loucas S. (2007)
      This paper proposes a technique to quantitatively and systematically search for decoupling among elements of a dynamic system model, and to partition models in which decoupling is found. The method can validate simplifying ...
