Title: Advances in numerical projection methods for Model Order Reduction of large-scale linear dynamical systems

In this talk we shall report on recent results on approximating quantities that are of interest in the development 
of numerical reduction strategies of large-scale linear dynamical systems.  In particular, for non-symmetric and 
dissipative matrices, we shall concentrate on the solution of algebraic Lyapunov equations, on the approximation 
of the transfer function and on balanced truncation. Numerical experiments demonstrating the performance of the 
discussed methods will also be described.
