Hwang and Shieh proposed a bilinear Routh approximation method for reducing the order of discrete-time systems. A reduced model derived by the method is not only stable whenever an original model is stable, but also fits the first few time-moments of the original one. This paper addresses the possibility of improving the method by letting the impulse response energy of the original model also be conserved in the reduced model without destroying the stability preserving and time-moments matching properties.
