Koopman spectral analysis of skew-product dynamics on Hilbert $C^*$-modules

Abstract

We introduce a linear operator on a Hilbert $C^*$-module for analyzing skew-product dynamical systems. The operator is defined by composition and multiplication. We show that it admits a decomposition in the Hilbert $C^*$-module, called eigenoperator decomposition, that generalizes the concept of the eigenvalue decomposition. This decomposition reconstructs the Koopman operator of the system in a manner that represents the continuous spectrum through eigenoperators. In addition, it is related to the notions of cocycle and Oseledets subspaces and it is useful for characterizing coherent structures under skew-product dynamics. We present numerical applications to simple systems on two-dimensional domains.
