Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

pykoop is a Python package for learning differential equations in discretized form using the Koopman operator.Differential equations are an essential tool for modelling the physical world.Ordinary differential equations can be used to describe electric circuits, rigid-body dynamics, or chemical reaction rates, while the fundamental laws of electromagnetism, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer can be formulated as partial differential equations.The Koopman operator allows nonlinear differential equations to be rewritten as infinite-dimensional linear differential equations by viewing their time evolution in terms of an infinite number of nonlinear lifting functions.A finite-dimensional approximation of the Koopman operator can be identified from data given a user-selected set of lifting functions.Thanks to its linearity, the approximate Koopman model can be used for analysis, design, and optimal controller or observer synthesis for a wide range of systems using well-established linear tools.pykoop's documentation, along with examples in script and notebook form, can be found at at pykoop.readthedocs.io/en/stable.Its releases are also archived on Zenodo (Dahdah & Forbes, 2024b).

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
