Abstract

We derive and prove the `fast response' formula for the linear response, the parameter derivatives of long-time-averaged statistics, of hyperbolic deterministic chaotic systems. The expression is pointwisely defined so we can compute the linear response in high-dimensions via Monte-Carlo-type algorithms. It has two parts, where the shadowing contribution is computed by the nonintrusive shadowing algorithm. The unstable contribution is expressed by renormalized second-order tangent equations; importantly, it does not contain any distributional derivatives. The algorithm's cost is solving uu, the unstable dimension, many first-order and second-order tangent equations along a long orbit; the main error is the sampling error of the orbit. We numerically demonstrate the algorithm on a 21-dimensional example, which is difficult for previous methods.
