Robust Approximation of the Stochastic Koopman Operator

We analyze the performance of Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD)-based approximations of the stochastic Koopman operator for random dynamical systems where either the dynamics or observables are affected by noise. For many DMD algorithms, the presence of noise can introduce a bias in the DMD operator, leading to poor approximations of the dynamics. In particular, methods using time delayed observables, such as Hankel DMD, are biased when the dynamics are random. We introduce a new, robust DMD algorithm that can approximate the stochastic Koopman operator despite the presence of noise. We then demonstrate how this algorithm can be applied to time delayed observables, which allows us to generate a Krylov subspace from a single observable. This allows us to compute a realization of the stochastic Koopman operator using a single observable measured over a single trajectory. We test the performance of the algorithms over several examples.
