Abstract
It is advantageous to identify weakly coupled systems by taking account of their space structure. The solution may be obtained in three steps: (1) Considering the impulse response of the system, recognize the inputs and outputs belonging to the same subsystems. Ternary matrices are introduced. (2) Identify the subsystems one by one. If the coupling is weak, the interaction terms may be considered as perturbation terms. (3) Identify the interactions either systematically or in the order where they bring the most information on the complex system. Considerable savings in memory space can be achieved when using this method.
