The smallest such perturbation that makes a connection between two attractors is called the excitability threshold associated with that connection. The excitability threshold provides a measure of sensitivity of the connection to input perturbations. Errors in performance of such trained RNNs can be related to errors in transitions around the associated ENA.

Spectral properties computed by ResDMD include spectra, pseudospectra, spectral measures, Koopman mode decompositions, and dictionary verification. In scenarios where the number of snapshots is fewer than the dictionary size, particularly for exact DMD and kernelized Extended DMD, ResDMD has traditionally been applied by dividing snapshot data into a training set and a quadrature set. We demonstrate how to eliminate the need for two datasets through a novel computational approach of solving a dual least-squares problem. We analyze these new residuals for exact DMD and kernelized Extended DMD, demonstrating ResDMD’s versatility and broad applicability across various dynamical systems, including those modeled by high-dimensional and nonlinear observables. The utility of these new residuals is showcased through three diverse examples: the analysis of a cylinder wake, the study of airfoil cascades, and the compression of transient shockwave experimental data.
