Short-time linear response with reduced-rank tangent map

The recently developed short-time linear response algorithm, which predicts the response of a nonlinear chaotic forced-dissipative system to small external perturbation, yields high precision of the response prediction. However, the computation of the short-time linear response formula with the full rank tangent map can be expensive. Here, a numerical method to potentially overcome the increasing numerical complexity for large scale models with many variables by using the reduced-rank tangent map in the computation is proposed. The conditions for which the short-time linear response approximation with the reduced-rank tangent map is valid are established, and two practical situations are examined, where the response to small external perturbations is predicted for nonlinear chaotic forced-dissipative systems with different dynamical properties.
