Parametric Interpolation of Dynamic Mode Decomposition for Predicting Nonlinear Systems

We present parameter-interpolated dynamic mode decomposition (piDMD), a parametric reduced-order modeling framework that embeds known parameter-affine structure directly into the DMD regression step. Unlike existing parametric DMD methods which interpolate modes, eigenvalues, or reduced operators and can be fragile with sparse training data or multi-dimensional parameter spaces, piDMD learns a single parameter-affine Koopman surrogate reduced order model (ROM) across multiple training parameter samples and predicts at unseen parameter values without retraining. We validate piDMD on fluid flow past a cylinder, electron beam oscillations in transverse magnetic fields, and virtual cathode oscillations -- the latter two being simulated using an electromagnetic particle-in-cell (EMPIC) method. Across all benchmarks, piDMD achieves accurate long-horizon predictions and improved robustness over state-of-the-art interpolation-based parametric DMD baselines, with less training samples and with multi-dimensional parameter spaces.

Temporally-Consistent Koopman Autoencoders for Forecasting Dynamical Systems

Absence of sufficiently high-quality data often poses a key challenge in data-driven modeling of high-dimensional spatio-temporal dynamical systems. Koopman Autoencoders (KAEs) harness the expressivity of deep neural networks (DNNs), the dimension reduction capabilities of autoencoders, and the spectral properties of the Koopman operator to learn a reduced-order feature space with simpler, linear dynamics. However, the effectiveness of KAEs is hindered by limited and noisy training datasets, leading to poor generalizability. To address this, we introduce the Temporally-Consistent Koopman Autoencoder (tcKAE), designed to generate accurate long-term predictions even with constrained and noisy training data. This is achieved through a consistency regularization term that enforces prediction coherence across different time steps, thus enhancing the robustness and generalizability of tcKAE over existing models. We provide analytical justification for this approach based on Koopman spectral theory and empirically demonstrate tcKAE's superior performance over state-of-the-art KAE models across a variety of test cases, including simple pendulum oscillations, kinetic plasmas, fluid flows, and sea surface temperature data.
