Dynamic Mode Decomposition - Description

Description

A time-evolving physical situation may be approximated by the action of a linear operator to the instantaneous state vector.

The dynamic mode decomposition strives to approximate the evolution operator from a known sequence of observations, . Thus, we ask the following matrix equation to hold:

V_{1 \dots n+1}=\tilde A V_{0\dots n}

The right hand side states that is a linear combination of the columns of, which can be expressed as

V_{1 \dots n+1}= V_{0\dots n} S

where S is the companion matrix

S=\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 & \dots & 0 & c_0 \\ 1 & 0 & \dots & 0 & c_1 \\ 0 & 1 & \dots & 0 & c_2 \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots & \vdots \\ 0 & 0 & \dots & 1 & c_n \end{pmatrix}.

The matrix S is small as compared to the sample data V. Therefore eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be computed with ease.

Famous quotes containing the word description:

    “The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
    —Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    “Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
    —Paul Tillich (1886–1965)

    “Whose are the truly labored sentences? From the weak and flimsy periods of the politician and literary man, we are glad to turn even to the description of work, the simple record of the month’s labor in the farmer’s almanac, to restore our tone and spirits.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
