This paper presents a new approach for reduction of commensurate fractional-order single-input-single-output systems. The minimization in the frequency response error of the reduced order model (ROM) relative to the original system is carried out in the F-plane. A constrained optimization technique is introduced to satisfy the angle criteria for F-domain stability of the proposed ROM. Significant improvements in both the time- and frequency-responses over the recently published literature are illustrated using several numerical examples.
