Abstract
Stochastic resonance is a cooperative effect of noise and periodic driving in bistable systems. It can be used for the detection and amplification of weak signals embedded within a large noise background. In doing so, the noise triggers the transfer of power to the signal. In this paper we first present general properties of periodically driven Brownian motion, such as the long-time behavior of correlation functions and the existence of a "supersymmetric" partner system. Within the framework of nonstationary stochastic processes, we present a careful numerical study of the stochastic resonance effect, without restrictions on the modulation amplitude and frequency. In particular, in the regime of intermediate driving frequencies which has not yet been covered by theories, we have discovered a secondary resonance at smaller values of the noise strength.

Stochastic resonance in bistable systems driven by harmonic noise
Physical review letters, 1994
We study stochastic resonance in a bistable system which is excited simultaneously by white and harmonic noise which we understand as the signal. In our case the spectral line of the signal has a nite width as it occurs in many real situations. Using techniques of cumulant analysis as well as computer simulations we nd that the e ect of stochastic resonance is preserved in the case of harmonic noise excitation. Moreover we show that the width of the spectral line of the signal at the output can be decreased via stochastic resonace. The last could be of importance in the practical using of the stochastic resonance. PACS number(s): 05.40.+j, 02.50.+s Typeset using REVT E X
Multi Signal Amplification by Stochastic Resonance
We study numerically the stochastic resonance in a bistable system driven simultaneously by gaussian noise and a composite signal con- sisting of at least two basic frequencies. We show that by tuning the noise amplitude, the signal to noise ratio corresponding to all the fundamental frequencies in the signal can be enhanced. Possible practical applications in the field of communication as well as neural science are mentioned. Keywords—Stochastic Resonance, Bistable Cubic Map. I. INTRODUCTION T has now been established that Stochastic Resonance(SR)is a phenomenon by which small periodic signals immersed in large background noise can be detected (1)-(3). Its applica- tions are diverse and are increasing day by day (4)-(6). The most important quantifier for SR is the Signal to Noise Ra- tio(SNR)which passes through a maximum as a function of the noise amplitude for systems showing SR. Using the bimodal cu- bic map, we have recently shown that SNR can be enhanced by a suitable coupling...
Stochastic resonance in bistable and excitable systems: Effect of non-gaussian noises
2003
We analyze stochastic resonance in systems driven by non-Gaussian noises. For the bistable double well we compare the signal-to-noise ratio resulting from numerical simulations with some quasi-analytical results predicted by a consistent Markovian approximation in the case of a colored non-Gaussian noise. We also study the FitzHugh–Nagumo excitable system in the presence of the same noise.
Residual aperiodic stochastic resonance in a bistable dynamic system transmitting a suprathreshold binary signal
Physical Review E, 2004
Conventional stochastic resonance can be viewed as an amplitude effect, in which a small ͑subthreshold͒ input signal receives assistance from noise to trigger a stronger response from a nonlinear system. We demonstrate another mechanism of improvement by the noise, which is more of a temporal effect. An intrinsically slow system has difficulty to respond to a fast ͑suprathreshold͒ input, and the noise plays a constructive role by spurring the system for a more efficient response. The possibility of this form of stochastic resonance is established and studied here in a double-well bistable dynamic system, driven by a suprathreshold random binary signal, with the noise accelerating the switching between wells.
High frequency stochastic resonance in periodically driven systems
Jetp Letters, 1993
High frequency stochastic resonance (SR) phenomena, associated with fluctuational transitions between coexisting periodic attractors, have been investigated experimentally in an electronic model of a single-well Duffing oscillator bistable in a nearly resonant field of frequency $\omega_F$. It is shown that, with increasing noise intensity, the signal/noise ratio (SNR) for a signal due to a weak trial force of frequency $\Omega \sim \omega_F$ at first decreases, then {\it increases}, and finally decreases again at higher noise intensities: behaviour similar to that observed previously for conventional (low frequency) SR in systems with static bistable potentials. The stochastic enhancement of the SNR of an additional signal at the mirror-reflected frequency $\vert \Omega - 2 \omega_F \vert$ is also observed, in accordance with theoretical predictions. Relationships with phenomena in nonlinear optics are discussed.
Stochastic resonance in periodically driven bistable systems subjected to anomalous diffusion
SN Applied Sciences 428, 3, 2021
The occurrence of stochastic resonance in bistable systems undergoing anomalous diffusions, which arise from densitydependent fluctuations, is investigated with an emphasis on the analytical formulation of the problem as well as a possible analytical derivation of key quantifiers of stochastic resonance. The nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation describing the system dynamics, together with the corresponding Ito-Langevin equation, is formulated. In the linear response regime, analytical expressions of the spectral amplification, of the signal-to-noise ratio and of the hysteresis loop area are derived as quantifiers of stochastic resonance. These quantifiers are found to be strongly dependent on the parameters controlling the type of diffusion; in particular, the peak characterizing the signal-to-noise ratio occurs only in close ranges of parameters. Results introduce the relevant information that, taking into consideration the interactions of anomalous diffusive systems with a periodic signal, can provide a better understanding of the physics of stochastic resonance in bistable systems driven by periodic forces.
Stochastic resonance in electrical circuits. II. Nonconventional stochastic resonance
Circuits and Systems …, 1999
Stochastic resonance (SR), in which a periodic signal in a nonlinear system can be amplified by added noise, is discussed. The application of circuit modeling techniques to the conventional form of SR, which occurs in static bistable potentials, was considered in a companion paper. Here, the investigation of nonconventional forms of SR in part using similar electronic techniques is described. In the small-signal limit, the results are well described in terms of linear response theory. Some other phenomena of topical interest, closely related to SR, are also treated.
Stochastic resonance: noise-enhanced order
Physics-Uspekhi, 1999
Stochastic resonance (SR) provides a glaring example of a noise-induced transition in a nonlinear system driven by an information signal and noise simultaneously. In the regime of SR some characteristics of the information signal (amplification factor, signal-to-noise ratio, the degrees of coherence and of order, etc.) at the output of the system are significantly improved at a certain optimal noise level. SR is realized only in nonlinear systems for which a noise-intensity-controlled characteristic time becomes available. In the present review the physical mechanism and methods of theoretical description of SR are briefly discussed. SR features determined by the structure of the information signal, noise statistics and properties of particular systems with SR are studied. A nontrivial phenomenon of stochastic synchronization defined as locking of the instantaneous phase and switching frequency of a bistable system by external periodic force is analyzed in detail. Stochastic synchronization is explored in single and coupled bistable oscillators, including ensembles. The effects of SR and stochastic synchronization of ensembles of stochastic resonators are studied both with and without coupling between the elements. SR is considered in dynamical and nondynamical (threshold) systems. The SR effect is analyzed from the viewpoint of information and entropy characteristics of the signal, which determine the degree of order or self-organization in the system. Applications of the SR concept to explaining the results of a series of biological experiments are discussed. 7.

Periodically time-modulated bistable systems: Stochastic resonance
Physical Review A, 1989
We characterize the notion of stochastic resonance for a wide class of bistable systems driven by a periodic modulation. On developing an adiabatic picture of the underlying relaxation mechanism, we show that the intensity of the effect under study is proportional to the escape rate in the absence of perturbation. The adiabatic model of stochastic resonance accounts for the role of Anite damping and finite noise correlation time as well. Our predictions compare well with the results of analogue simulation.

Nonconventional stochastic resonance
Journal of Statistical Physics, 1993
It is argued, on the basis of linear response theory (LRT), that new types of stochastic resonance (SR) are to be anticipated in diverse systems, quite different from the one most commonly studied to date, which has a static double-well potential and is driven by a net force equal to the sum of periodic and stochastic terms. On this basis, three new nonconventional forms of SR are predicted, sought, found, and investigated both theoretically and by analogue electronic experiment: (a) in monostable systems; (b) in bistable systems with periodically modulated noise; and (c) in a system with coexisting periodic attractors. In each case, it is shown that LRT can provide a good quantitative description of the experimental results for sufficiently weak driving fields. It is concluded that SR is a much more general phenomenon than has hitherto been appreciated.
Stochastic resonance in an asymmetric bistable system driven by multiplicative and additive noise
Chinese Physics, 2005
The phenomenon of stochastic resonance (SR) in a new asymmetric bistable model is investigated. Firstly, a new asymmetric bistable model with an asymmetric term is proposed based on traditional bistable model and the influence of system parameters on the asymmetric bistable potential function is studied. Secondly, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as the index of evaluating the model are researched. Thirdly, Applying the two-state theory and the adiabatic approximation theory, the analytical expressions of SNR is derived for the asymmetric bistable system driven by a periodic signal, unrelated multiplicative and additive Gaussian noise. Finally, the asymmetric bistable stochastic resonance (ABSR) is applied to the bearing fault detection and compared with classical bistable stochastic resonance (CBSR) and classical tri-stable stochastic resonance (CTSR). The numerical computations results show that:(1) the curve of SNR as a function of the additive Gaussian noise and multiplicative Gaussian noise first increased and then decreased with the different influence of the parameters a, b, r and A; This demonstrates that the phenomenon of SR can be induced by system parameters; (2) by parameter compensation method, the ABSR performs better in bearing fault detection than the CBSR and CTSR with merits of higher output SNR, better anti-noise and frequency response capability.
Two-State Theory of Nonlinear Stochastic Resonance
Physical Review Letters, 2003
An amenable, analytical two-state description of the nonlinear population dynamics of a noisy bistable system driven by a rectangular subthreshold signal is put forward. Explicit expressions for the driven population dynamics, the correlation function (its coherent and incoherent part), the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the Stochastic Resonance (SR) gain are obtained. Within a suitably chosen range of parameter values this reduced description yields anomalous SR-gains exceeding unity and, simultaneously, gives rise to a non-monotonic behavior of the SNR vs. the noise strength. The analytical results agree well with those obtained from numerical solutions of the Langevin equation.
Stochastic resonance in underdamped, bistable systems
Physics Letters A, 2006
We carry out a detailed numerical investigation of stochastic resonance in underdamped systems in the non-perturbative regime. We point out that an important distinction between stochastic resonance in overdamped and underdamped systems lies in the lack of dependence of the amplitude of the noise-averaged trajectory on the noise strength, in the latter case. We provide qualitative explanations for the observed behavior and show that signatures such as the initial decay and long-time oscillatory behaviour of the temporal correlation function and peaks in the noise and phase averaged power spectral density, clearly indicate the manifestation of resonant behaviour in noisy, underdamped bistable systems in the weak to moderate noise regime.
Amplification of weak signals and stochastic resonance via on-off intermittency with symmetry breaking
Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 1999
Nonlinear dynamical systems possessing reflection symmetry have an invariant subspace in the phase space. The dynamics within the invariant subspace can be random or chaotic. As a system parameter changes, the motion transverse to the invariant subspace can lose stability, leading to on-off intermittency. Under certain conditions, the bursting behavior is symmetry breaking. We demonstrate the possibility of observing multiplicative noise(chaos)-induced amplification of weak signal and stochastic resonance via on-off intermittency with symmetry breaking in a general class of symmetrical systems. Differences of this mechanism of stochastic resonance to that in noisy bistable or threshold systems are discussed.
Stochastic resonance in bistable systems with nonlinear dissipation and multiplicative noise: A microscopic approach
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2013
The stochastic resonance (SR) in bistable systems has been extensively discussed with the use of phenomenological Langevin models. By using the microscopic, generalized Caldeira-Leggett (CL) model, we study in this paper, SR of an open bistable system coupled to a bath with a nonlinear system-bath interaction. The adopted CL model yields the non-Markovian Langevin equation with nonlinear dissipation and state-dependent diffusion which preserve the fluctuationdissipation relation (FDR). From numerical calculations, we find the following: (1) the spectral power amplification (SPA) exhibits SR not only for a and b but also for τ while the stationary probability distribution function is independent of them where a (b) denotes the magnitude of multiplicative (additive) noise and τ expresses the relaxation time of colored noise; (2) the SPA for coexisting additive and multiplicative noises has a single-peak but two-peak structure as functions of a, b and/or τ. These results (1) and (2) are qualitatively different from previous ones obtained by phenomenological Langevin models where the FDR is indefinite or not held.
Stochastic resonance in two coupled bistable systems
Physics Letters A, 1995
We consider the collective response of two coupled bistable oscillators driven by independent noise sources to a periodical force. We have found that there exists an optimal value of the coupling strength for which the signal-to-noise ratio of the collective response has its maximal value. The connection of this effect with the phenomenon of stochastic synchronization is established.
The mechanism of stochastic resonance
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 1981
It is shown that a dynamical system subject to both periodic forcing and random perturbation may show a resonance (peak in the power spectrum) which is absent when either the forcing or the perturbation is absent.
NOISE IMPROVEMENTS IN STOCHASTIC RESONANCE: FROM SIGNAL AMPLIFICATION TO OPTIMAL DETECTION
Fluctuation and Noise Letters, 2002
It is demonstrated that benefits from the noise can be gained at various levels in stochastic resonance. Raising the noise can produce signal amplification as well as signal-tonoise ratio improvement, input-output gain exceeding unity in signal-to-noise ratio, and enhanced performance in optimal processing. This series of benefits is successively exhibited in the processing of a periodic signal coupled to a white noise through essentially static nonlinearities. Especially, it is established that noise benefits in stochastic resonance can extend up to optimal processing, by considering an optimal Bayesian detector whose performance is improvable by raising the level of the noise.
