Understanding Latent-Dimension Scaling in Dynamical-System Learning through Spectral Reliability

We analyze the learned time evolution through the eigenstructure of Koopman operators, using relative residuals to detect spurious eigenpairs arising even as one-step error falls.

Key points

  • In deep learning, approximation theory motivates increasing representation size.
  • We ask whether this benefit extends to dynamics learning through autoregressive prediction.
  • For bounded Koopman operators, we show that minimal residuals over learned dictionary spaces converge pointwise to their full-space counterparts as these spaces approximate the observable space in $L^2$.
  • We compare two models of a shared Koopman autoencoder trained alternately for reconstruction and latent evolution, using latent-prediction loss (one-step prediction errors in latent coordinates) or spectral-residual loss (relative residuals of candidate eigenpairs).
