Identification of kinetic order parameters for non-equilibrium dynamics.

ABSTRACT: A popular approach to analyze the dynamics of high-dimensional many-body systems, such as macromolecules, is to project the trajectories onto a space of slowly varying collective variables, where subsequent analyses are made, such as clustering or estimation of free energy profiles or Markov state models. However, existing "dynamical" dimension reduction methods, such as the time-lagged independent component analysis (TICA), are only valid if the dynamics obeys detailed balance (microscopic reversibility) and typically require long, equilibrated simulation trajectories. Here, we develop a dimension reduction method for non-equilibrium dynamics based on the recently developed Variational Approach for Markov Processes (VAMP) by Wu and Noé. VAMP is illustrated by obtaining a low-dimensional d
