Multipoint Padé interpolation methods have shown to be very efficient for model reduction of large-scale dynamical systems. The objective of this paper is to analyze the generality of this approach. We mainly focus our attention on the Single Input Single Output case. The generalization of this approach for MIMO model reduction is briefly introduced.
