Before revision: We consider the problem of robustly determining the m slowest dynamical modes of a reversible dynamical system, with a particular focus on the analysis of equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations.
After revision: Markov state models (MSMs) are a widely used method for approximating the eigenspectrum of the molecular dynamics propagator, yielding insight into the long-timescale statistical kinetics and slow dynamical modes of a reversible dynamical system, with a particular focus on the analysis of equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations.
