An operator-theoretic viewpoint to non-smooth dynamical systems: Koopman analysis of a hybrid pendulum

We apply an operator-theoretic viewpoint to a class of non-smooth dynamical systems that are exposed to event-triggered state resets. The considered benchmark problem is that of a pendulum which receives a downward kick at certain fixed angles. The pendulum is modeled as a hybrid automaton and is analyzed from both a geometric perspective and the formalism of Koopman operator theory. A connection is drawn between these two interpretations of a dynamical system by establishing a link between the spectral properties of the Koopman operator and the geometric properties in the state-space.
