Exact Principal Koopman Eigenfunctions of a Pendulum

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The Koopman operator framework offers a rigorous approach to representing nonlinear dynamical systems through linear (or bilinear) differential equations. For deterministic, dissipative systems, it guarantees the existence of global coordinate transformations that linearize autonomous systems and bilinearize input‐affine systems. Despite these
