A concise introduction to Koopman operator theory and the Extended Dynamic Mode Decomposition

Abstract

The framework of Koopman operator theory is discussed along with its connections to Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) and (Kernel) Extended Dynamic Mode Decomposition (EDMD). This paper provides a succinct overview with consistent notation. The authors hope to provide an exposition that more naturally emphasizes the connections between theory and algorithms which may result in a sense of clarity on the subject.
