The paper explicitly derives b_i(x) = ℓ_{i+1}^⊤ ψ(x) and a_{ij}(x) ≃ ℓ_k^⊤ ψ(x) − x_j ℓ_{i+1}^⊤ ψ(x) − x_i ℓ_{j+1}^⊤ ψ(x) by applying the Koopman generator L to monomials f=x_i and f=x_i x_j, using A=ΣΣ^⊤ and the matrix representation of L in a monomial dictionary; see the generator definition and A(x)=Σ(x)Σ(x)^⊤, the dictionary setup, and the identification formulas in Sect. III.C (equations corresponding to (19), (22), (26), (27)) . The candidate solution follows the same steps and arrives at the same formulas. The only minor nuance is that the paper marks the projection to the finite dictionary with ≃, while the candidate solution writes equalities; otherwise the reasoning and formulas are the same.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid \textbf{Justification:} The identification of drift and diffusion from Koopman-generator actions on monomials is correct and well aligned with standard gEDMD theory. The paper's contribution is primarily methodological (weighted expectations and clustering to mitigate noise), and the algebraic identities in question are accurately derived. Minor clarifications about projection onto finite dictionaries and consistent use of matrix transposes would improve readability and reproducibility.
