A LAPACK implementation of the Dynamic Mode DecompositionJust Accepted

The Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) is a method for computational analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems in data driven scenarios. Based on high fidelity numerical simulations or experimental data, the DMD can be used to reveal the latent structures in the dynamics or as a forecasting or a model order reduction tool. The theoretical underpinning of the DMD is the Koopman operator on a Hilbert space of observables of the dynamics under study. This paper describes a numerically robust and versatile variant of the DMD and its implementation using the state of the art dense numerical linear algebra software package LAPACK . The features of the proposed software solution include residual bounds for the computed eigenpairs of the DMD matrix, eigenvectors refinements and computation of the eigenvectors of the Exact DMD, compressed DMD for efficient analysis of high dimensional problems that can be easily adapted for fast updates in a streaming DMD. Numerical analysis is the bedrock of numerical robustness and reliability of the software, that is tested following the highest standards and practices of LAPACK . Important numerical topics are discussed in detail and illustrated using numerous numerical examples.
