Abstract A novel method to compute time eigenvalues of neutron transport problems is presented based on solutions to the time-dependent transport equation. Using these solutions, we use the dynamic mode decomposition to form an approximate transport operator. This approximate operator has eigenvalues that are mathematically related to the time eigenvalues of the neutron transport equation. This approach works for systems of any level of criticality and does not require the user to have estimates for the eigenvalues. Numerical results are presented for homogeneous and heterogeneous media. The numerical results indicate that the method finds the eigenvalues that contribute the most to the change in the solution over a given time range, and the eigenvalue with the largest real part is not necessarily important to the system evolution at short and intermediate times.
