    Molecular dynamic (MD) simulations are used to probe molecular systems in regimes not accessible to physical experiments. A common goal of these simulations is to compute the power spectral density (PSD) of some component of the system such as particle velocity. In certain MD simulations, only a few time locations are observed, which makes it difficult to estimate the autocorrelation and PSD. This work develops a novel nuclear norm minimization-based method for this type of sub-sampled data, based on a parametric representation of the PSD as the sum of Lorentzians. We show results on both synthetic data and a test system of methanol.

    Sketching is a stochastic dimension reduction method that preserves geometric structures of data and has applications in high-dimensional regression, low rank approximation and graph sparsification. In this work, we show that sketching can be used to compress simulation data and still accurately estimate time autocorrelation and power spectral density. For a given compression ratio, the accuracy is much higher than using previously known methods. In addition to providing theoretical guarantees, we apply sketching to a molecular dynamics simulation of methanol and find that the estimate of spectral density is 90% accurate using only 10% of the data.
