The Koopman operator is a mathematical tool that allows for a linear description of non-linear systems, but working in infinite dimensional spaces. Dynamic Mode Decomposition and Extended Dynamic Mode Decomposition are amongst the most popular finite dimensional approximation. In this paper we capture their core essence as a dual version of the same framework, incorporating them into the Kernel framework. To do so, we leverage the RKHS as a suitable space for learning the Koopman dynamics, thanks to its intrinsic finite-dimensional nature, shaped by data. We finally establish a strong link between kernel methods and Koopman operators, leading to the estimation of the latter through Kernel functions. We provide also simulations for comparison with standard procedures.
