This work serves as a bridge between two approaches to analysis of dynamical systems: the local, geometric analysis, and the global operator theoretic Koopman analysis. We explicitly construct vector fields where the instantaneous Lyapunov exponent field is a Koopman eigenfunction. Restricting ourselves to polynomial vector fields to make this construction easier, we find that such vector fields do exist, and we explore whether such vector fields have a special structure, thus making a link…

Global Stability Analysis Using the Eigenfunctions of the Koopman Operator

The main results establish the (necessary and sufficient) relationship between the existence of specific eigenfunctions of the Koopman operator and the global stability property of hyperbolic fixed points and limit cycles.

A spectral expansion for general linear autonomous dynamical systems with analytic observables, and the notion of generalized eigenfunctions of the associated Koopman operator is defined, and isostables for a general class of nonlinear systems are defined.

Finite-time Lyapunov exponents in the instantaneous limit and material transport

Lagrangian techniques, such as the finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) and hyperbolic Lagrangian coherent structures, have become popular tools for analyzing unsteady fluid flows. These techniques…

The computation of finite-time Lyapunov exponents on unstructured meshes and for non-Euclidean manifolds.

The FTLE computational method is modified to accommodate unstructured meshes of triangles and tetrahedra to fit manifolds of arbitrary shape, as well as to facilitate dynamic refinement of the FTLE mesh.

Analysis of Fluid Flows via Spectral Properties of the Koopman Operator

This article reviews theory and applications of Koopman modes in fluid mechanics. Koopman mode decomposition is based on the surprising fact, discovered in Mezic (2005), that normal modes of linear…

A Data–Driven Approximation of the Koopman Operator: Extending Dynamic Mode Decomposition

This approach is an extension of dynamic mode decomposition (DMD), which has been used to approximate the Koopman eigenvalues and modes, and if the data provided to the method are generated by a Markov process instead of a deterministic dynamical system, the algorithm approximates the eigenfunctions of the Kolmogorov backward equation.

Spectral Properties of Dynamical Systems, Model Reduction and Decompositions

In this paper we discuss two issues related to model reduction of deterministic or stochastic processes. The first is the relationship of the spectral properties of the dynamics on the attractor of…
