Recently, the authors developed a mathematical framework for the computation of optimal reaction coordinates of such systems that is based on learning a parameterization of a low-dimensional transition manifold in a certain function space. In this article, we enhance this approach by embedding and learning this transition manifold in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space, exploiting the favorable properties of kernel embeddings. Under mild assumptions on the kernel, the manifold structure is shown to be preserved under the embedding, and distortion bounds can be derived. This leads to a more robust and more efficient algorithm compared to the previous parameterization approaches.}, language = {en} } @article{BittracherKoltaiKlusetal., author = {Bittracher, Andreas and Koltai, P{\´e}ter and Klus, Stefan and Banisch, Ralf and Dellnitz, Michael and Sch{\"u}tte, Christof}, title = {Transition manifolds of complex metastable systems: Theory and data-driven computation of effective dynamics}, series = {Jounal of Nonlinear Science}, volume = {28}, journal = {Jounal of Nonlinear Science}, number = {2}, doi = {10.1007/s00332-017-9415-0}, pages = {471 -- 512}, abstract = {We consider complex dynamical systems showing metastable behavior but no local separation of fast and slow time scales.

There is a wide range of application areas for this important instance of system identification, ranging from industrial engineering and acoustic signal processing to stock market models. In order to find appropriate representations of underlying dynamical systems, various data-driven methods have been proposed by different communities. However, if the given data sets are high-dimensional, then these methods typically suffer from the curse of dimensionality. To significantly reduce the computational costs and storage consumption, we propose the method multidimensional approximation of nonlinear dynamical systems (MANDy) which combines data-driven methods with tensor network decompositions. The efficiency of the introduced approach will be illustrated with the aid of several high-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems.}, language = {en} } @article{GelssKlusKnebeletal., author = {Gelß, Patrick and Klus, Stefan and Knebel, Sebastian and Shakibaei, Zarin and Pokutta, Sebastian}, title = {Low-Rank Tensor Decompositions of Quantum Circuits}, series = {Journal of Computational Physics}, journal = {Journal of Computational Physics}, abstract = {Quantum computing is arguably one of the most revolutionary and disruptive technologies of this century. Due to the ever-increasing number of potential applications as well as the continuing rise in complexity, the development, simulation, optimization, and physical realization of quantum circuits is of utmost importance for designing novel algorithms.

This enables the analysis and simulation of complex quantum circuits on classical computers and to gain insight into the underlying structure of the system.

Two of the main challenges are that the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of graph Laplacians associated with directed graphs are in general complex-valued and that there is no universally accepted definition of clusters in directed graphs. We first exploit relationships between the graph Laplacian and transfer operators and in particular between clusters in undirected graphs and metastable sets in stochastic dynamical systems and then use a generalization of the notion of metastability to derive clustering algorithms for directed and time-evolving graphs. The resulting clusters can be interpreted as coherent sets, which play an important role in the analysis of transport and mixing processes in fluid flows.}, language = {en} } @article{KlusGelssPeitzetal., author = {Klus, Stefan and Gelß, Patrick and Peitz, Sebastian and Sch{\"u}tte, Christof}, title = {Tensor-based dynamic mode decomposition}, series = {Nonlinearity}, volume = {31}, journal = {Nonlinearity}, number = {7}, publisher = {IOP Publishing Ltd \& London Mathematical Society}, doi = {10.1088/1361-6544/aabc8f}, language = {en} } @article{KlusHusicMollenhaueretal., author = {Klus, Stefan and Husic, Brooke E. and Mollenhauer, Mattes and Noe, Frank}, title = {Kernel methods for detecting coherent structures in dynamical data}, series = {Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science}, volume = {29}, journal = {Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science}, number = {12}, doi = {10.1063/1.5100267}, language = {en} }
