Residual-Guided Dictionary Learning for Spectrally Accurate Koopman Approximation

arXiv:2606.29083v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Koopman theory promises linear structure in nonlinear dynamics, but numerical Koopman spectra are easy to compute and hard to trust. A finite EDMD matrix always has eigenvalues; the problem is that many of them may have nothing to do with the infinite-dimensional operator. In this paper we make spectral reliability the objective of dictionary learning. We train neural-network dictionaries not merely to predict the next snapshot, but to minimize Residual Dynamic Mode Decomposition residuals: operator-level a posteriori errors that test whether c
