• Abstract: Non-Hermitian skin effects are conventionally manifested as boundary localization of eigenstates in linear systems. In nonlinear settings, however, where eigenstates are no longer well defined, it becomes unclear how skin effects should be faithfully characterized. Here, we propose a Koopman-based characterization of nonlinear skin effects, in which localization is defined in terms of Koopman eigenfunctions in a lifted observable space, rather than physical states. Using a minimal nonlinear extension of the Hatano-Nelson model, we show that dominant Koopman eigenfunctions localize sharply on higher-order observables, in stark contrast to linear skin effects confined to linear observables. This lifted-space localization governs the sensitivity to boundary amplitude perturbations, providing a distinct dynamical signature of the nonlinear skin effect. Our results establish the Koopman framework as a natural setting in which skin effects unique to nonlinear non-Hermitian systems can be identified.

  We show for generic quantum non-Hermitian tight-binding models that relaxation of local observables are not controlled by the localization length. interference between eigenvectors effectively makes the extreme localization of modes largely irrelevant to relaxation. Our work highlights an important aspect of the non-Hermitian skin effect: the exceptional sensitivity to boundary conditions here necessarily takes a finite amount of time to manifest itself.

  Non-linear activation functions, e.g., Sigmoid, ReLU, and Tanh, have achieved great success in neural networks (NNs) Due to the complex non-linear characteristic of samples, the objective of those activation functions is to project samples from their original feature space to a linear separable feature space. This phenomenon ignites our interest in exploring whether all features need to be transformed by all non-linear functions in current typical NNs.
