Abstract

We develop algorithms built around properties of the transfer operator and Koopman operator which (1) test for possible multiscale dynamics in a given dynamical system, (2) estimate the magnitude of the time-scale separation, and finally (3) distill the reduced slow dynamics on a suitably designed subspace. By avoiding trajectory integration, the developed techniques are highly computationally efficient. We corroborate our findings with numerical simulations of a test problem.
