This work binds the existence of Koopman Eigenfunction (KEF), the geometric of the dynamics, and the validity of DMD to one coherent theory. Viewing the dynamic as a curve in the state-space allows us to formulate an existence condition of KEFs and their multiplicities. These conditions lay the foundations for system reconstruction, global controllability, and observability for nonlinear dynamics.  DMD can be interpreted as a finite dimension approximation of KMD. However, this method is limited to the case when KEFs are linear combinations of the observations. We examine the limitations of DMD through the analysis of Koopman theory. We propose a new mode decomposition technique based on the typical time profile of the dynamics. An overcomplete dictionary of decay profiles is used to sparsely represent the dynamic. This analysis is also valid in the full continuous setting of Koopman theory, which is based on variational calculus.
We demonstrate applications of this analysis, such as finding KEFs and their multiplicities, calculating KMD, dynamics reconstruction, global linearization, and controllability.
