Stochastic multiresonance in a bistable sawtooth potential driven by correlated multiplicative and additive noise

We present an analytic investigation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by studying the bistable sawtooth system driven by correlated Gaussian white noises. The analytic expression of SNR is obtained. Based on it, we detect the phenomenon of stochastic multiresonance, which arises from the dependence of SNR upon the noises correlation coefficient. Furthermore, there exists not only resonance, but also suppression in the SNR∼D (the additive noise intensity) curve and the SNR∼Q (the multiplicative noise intensity) curve.

Intensity correlation function of an optical bistable system subjected to cross-correlated noises

The normalized correlation function C(s) of an optical bistable system driven by cross-correlated noises is investigated. Based on the numerical computation and simulation results, it is found that: (1) The intensity of multiplicative noise D and the intensity of additive noise Q play opposite roles on C(s), i.e., D enhances the rate of fluctuation decay of transmitted light intensity and Q slows down the rate of fluctuation decay of the transmitted light intensity; (2) The strength of correlations between the multiplicative and additive noises λ slows down the rate of decay of intensity fluctuation; (3) For the case of positive correlated noises (λ>0), the increasing cooperativity parameter C slows down the rate of decay of intensity fluctuation firstly and then enhances it; (4) For the case of negative correlated noises (λ<0), the increasing C almost does not affect the rate of decay of intensity fluctuation firstly and then enhances it.     

Effect of correlated noises on Brownian motor

The Brownian motor operating between two correlated Gaussian white noises was investigated. The expressions of the current and the energy conversion efficiency of the Brownian motor were analytically derived by exploiting adiabatic approximation. The results indicates that: (i) Regulating the correlation strength λ between the two noises and the ratio D₂/D₁ of the two noise intensities can change the rotational direction of the motor; (ii) For the smaller D₂/D₁, an optimal λ can make the positive current and the efficiency be maximal, and for the smaller λ, an optimal D₂/D₁ also let the positive current be maximal. The results were explained from a viewpoint of modified potentials. The study is of important significance in the aspect of controlling the operation of the Brownian motor.     

Finite Larmor radius magnetohydrodynamic analysis of the ballooning modes in tokamaks

In this paper,the effect of finite Larmor radius (FLR) on high n ballooning modes is studied on the basis of FLR magnetohydrodynamic (FLR-MHD) theory.A linear FLR ballooning mode equation is derived in an ’s α’ type equilibrium of circular-flux-surfaces,which is reduced to the ideal ballooning mode equation when the FLR effect is neglected.The present model reproduces some basic features of FLR effects on ballooning mode obtained previously by kinetic ballooning mode theories.That is,the FLR introduces a real frequency into ballooning mode and has a stabilising effect on ballooning modes (e.g.,in the case of high magnetic shear s ≥ 0.8).In particular,some new properties of FLR effects on ballooning mode are discovered in the present research.Here it is found that in a high magnetic shear region (s ≥ 0.8) the critical pressure gradient (α c,FLR) of ballooning mode is larger than the ideal one (α c,IMHD) and becomes larger and larger with the increase of FLR parameter b 0.However,in a low magnetic shear region,the FLR ballooning mode is more unstable than the ideal one,and the α c,FLR is much lower than the α c,IMHD.Moreover,the present results indicate that there exist some new weaker instabilities near the second stability boundary (obtained from ideal MHD theory),which means that the second stable region becomes narrow.     

Stochastic systems with cross-correlated Gaussian white noises

This paper theoretically investigates three stochastic systems with cross-correlation Gaussian white noises.Both steady state properties of the stochastic nonlinear systems and the nonequilibrium transitions induced by the cross-correlated noises are studied.The stationary solutions of the Fokker-Planck equation for three specific examples are analysed.It is shown explicitly that the cross-correlation of white noises can induce nonequilibrium transitions.     

Flux in the Case of Gaussian White Noises

The transport of a spatially periodic system driven by additive and multiplicative Gaussian white noises (between which there is a correlation function) is investigated. The probability current (flux) shows .that the correlation function between the additive and multiplicative noises, and the spatial asymmetry are ingredients for the flux of particles. It is a new phenomenon that the correlation function between the additive and multiplicative noises can cause transport.     

Factors influencing dB(A) ratings for sound insulation: Incident noise spectrum and shape of the transmission loss curve

A computer study of the influence of both the incident noise spectrum and the shape of the transmission loss curve on dB(A) ratings for assessing acoustical insulation is undertaken in this work. Transmission loss curves are classed into five idealized types suggested by the shapes observed in about 120 actual cases studied at four major laboratories. From them 5875 smoothed transmission loss curves, covering most common walls, were derived and joined to white, pink, traffic, speech, explosive and inversely humped spectrum noises, used as incident noises, to constitute the data base. Values of the incremental insulation ΔTL(A) (excess of dB(A) ratings over the arithmetic mean for a given TL curve) in dB(A) were computed for all possible pairs {TL curve: incident noise}. Computed results of ΔTL(A) grouped according to the incident noise and the idealized shape of the TL curve are presented in three dimensional graphic form. The spectrum of the incident noise and the shape of the transmission loss curve can influence significantly dB(A) ratings of sound insulation. Differences as high as 10 dB(A) can be found for actual cases when the incident noise varies from traffic to white noise. Previous results of various authors, for some discrete cases, are discussed. The convenience of a thorough study of a possible correlation between dB(A) ratings (or other frequency weightings) for acoustical insulation and community response is finally suggested.     

Fractional Gaussian noise-induced evolution and transition in anti-tumor model

Noise induced evolution and transition in an anti-tumor model under immune surveillance are investigated in the presence of additive fractional Gaussian noises. Unlike white Gaussian noise, the Hurst exponent of noise plays a constructive role in the evolution. The noise can also induce the transition. As the noise intensity increases, the noises induced the transition from two states to one state for antipersistent case, whereas the curve always presents a bimodal structure and only the heights of their peaks changed for the persistent case.     

A random walker on a ratchet potential: effect of a non Gaussian noise

We analyze the effect of a colored non Gaussian noise on a model of a random walker moving along a ratchet potential. Such a model was motivated by the transport properties of motor proteins, like kinesin and myosin. Previous studies have been realized assuming white noises. However, for real situations, in general we could expect that those noises be correlated and non Gaussian. Among other aspects, in addition to a maximum in the current as the noise intensity is varied, we have also found another optimal value of the current when departing from Gaussian behavior. We show the relevant effects that arise when departing from Gaussian behavior, particularly related to current's enhancement, and discuss its relevance for both biological and technological situations.     

Effects of the Noise on Voltage-Current Characteristics of Josephson Effect

In the case of T >> hω/k, by expanding the quasiparticle current power spectrum up to the third order term of hω/2kT, two noises are obtained: one is a white noise, the other is an O-U noise. We find that the two noises are the negative correlated noises, and correlation parameter λ is equal to -√6/3. Effects of the correlated noises on voltage-current characteristics curve are studied. The numerical computations show that the correlation parameter λ has very large effects on the voltage-current characteristics, but the correlation time τ of the O-U noise has a little effect.     

Line-Mixing Effects inQBranches of CO2

A theoretical model based on the energy corrected sudden (ECS) approximation is used in order to account for line-mixing effects in Δ ↔ Π infraredQbranches of¹²C¹⁶O₂. Its quality is demonstrated by comparisons with numerous laboratory spectra of CO₂–He and CO₂–N₂mixtures: threeQbranches in the 4 and 17 μm regions are investigated at room temperature in a wide pressure range. The influence of mixing betweenQ(J) lines associated with odd and even values of the rotational quantum numberJis demonstrated and analyzed in detail. It is shown that, in contrast to available fitting law approaches, the ECS model correctly predicts the influence of the parity of the rotational quantum numbersJandJ′ on coupling between theQ(J) andQ(J′) lines. Comparisons between the effects of collisions of CO₂with N₂and He are made and analyzed. They show that these two systems involve different line couplings within theQbranch.     

Combined action of time-delay and colored cross-associated multiplicative and additive noises on stability and stochastic resonance for a stochastic metapopulation system

In this paper, the transition between the stable state of a big density and theextinction state and stochastic resonance (SR) for a time-delayed metapopulation systemdisturbed by colored cross-correlated noises are investigated. By applying the fastdescent method, the small time-delay approximation and McNamara and Wiesenfeld’s SRtheory, we investigate the impacts of time-delay, the multiplicative, additive noises andcolored cross-correlated noise on the SNR and the shift between the two states of thesystem. Numerical results show that the multiplicative, additive noises and time-delay canall speed up the transition from the stable state to the extinction state, while thecorrelation noise and its correlation time can slow down the extinction process of thepopulation system. With respect to SNR, the multiplicative noise always weakens the SReffect, while noise correlation time plays a dual role in motivating the SR phenomenon.Meanwhile, time-delay mainly plays a negative role in stimulating the SR phenomenon.Conversely, it could motivate the SR effect to increase the strength of thecross-correlation noise in the SNR-β plot, while the increase of additive noiseintensity will firstly excite SR, and then suppress the SR effect.     

Brownian motors: Joint effect of non-Gaussian noise and time asymmetric forcing

Previous works have shown that time asymmetric forcing on the one hand, as well as non-Gaussian noises on the other, can separately enhance the efficiency and current of a Brownian motor. Here, we study the result of subjecting a Brownian motor to both effects simultaneously. Our results have been compared with those obtained for the Gaussian white noise regime in the adiabatic limit. We find that, although the inclusion of the time asymmetry parameter increases the efficiency value up to a certain extent, for the present case this increase is much less appreciable than in the white noise case. We also present a comparative study of the transport coherence in the context of colored noise. Though the efficiency in some cases becomes higher for the non-Gaussian case, the Péclet number is always higher in the Gaussian colored noise case than in the white noise as well as non-Gaussian colored noise cases.     

Effects of cross-correlated noises on the relaxation time of the bistable system

The stationary correlation function and the associated relaxation time for a general system driven by cross-correlated white noises are derived, by virtue of a Stratonovich-like ansatz. The effects of correlated noises on the relaxation time of a bistable kinetic model coupled to an additive and a multiplicative white noises are studied. It is proved that for small fluctuations the relaxation time T_c as a function of λ (the correlated intensity between noises) exhibits very different behaviours for αD (α and D, respectively, stand for the ntensities of additive and multiplicative noises). When α>D, T_c increases with increasing λ. But when α相似文献   

Two Stochastic Resonances Induced by Two Different Multiplicative Telegraphic Noises for an Electric System

In this paper, an electric system with two dichotomous resistors is investigated. It is shown that this system can display two stochastic resonances, which are the amplitude of the periodic response as the functions of the two dichotomous resistors strengthes respectively. In the limits of Gaussian white noise and shot white noise (i.e., the two noises are both Gaussian white noise or shot white noise), no phenomena of resonance appear. By further study, we find that when the system is with three or more multiplicative telegraphic noises, there are three or more stochastic resonances.     

Correlation function of an optical bistable system with cross-correlated additive white noise and multiplicative colored noise

Considering an optical bistable system with cross-correlated additive white noise and multiplicative colored noise, we study the effects of correlation between the noises on the correlation function C（s） using the unified colored noise approximation and the Stratonovich deeoupling ansatz formalism. The effects of the self-correlation time τ of the multiplicative colored noise and the correlation intensity λ between the two noises are studied with numerical calculation. It is found that C（s） increases with the increase of the self-correlation timeτ, but decreases with the increase of the correlation intensity λ. At large value of τ, there is almost no change for C（s） when τ changes.     

Stochastic resonance in FitzHugh-Nagumo system with time-delayed feedback

The dynamics of a periodically driven FitzHugh-Nagumo system with time-delayed feedback and Gaussian white noise is investigated. The stochastic resonance which is characterized by the Fourier coefficient Q is numerically calculated. It is found that the stochastic resonance of the system is a non-monotonic function of the noise strength and the signal period. The variation of the time-delayed feedback can induce periodic stochastic resonance in the system.     

Optical and current transport properties of CuO/ZnO nanocoral p–n heterostructure hydrothermally synthesized at low temperature

We demonstrate the synthesis and investigate the electrical and optical characteristics of ‘nanocorals’ (NCs) composed of CuO/ZnO grown at low temperature through the hydrothermal approach. High-density CuO nanostructures (NSs) were selectively grown on ZnO nanorods (NRs). The synthesized NCs were used to fabricate p–n heterojunctions that were investigated by the current density–voltage (J–V) and the capacitance–voltage (C–V) techniques. It was found that the NC heterojunctions exhibit a well-defined diode behavior with a threshold voltage of about 1.52 V and relatively high rectification factor of ～760. The detailed forward J–V characteristics revealed that the current transport is controlled by an ohmic behavior for V≤0.15 V, whereas at moderate voltages 1.46≤V<1.5 the current follows a J? α?exp(βV) relationship. At higher voltages (≥1.5 V) the current follows the relation J? α? V ², indicating that the space-charge-limited current mechanism is the dominant current transport. The C–V measurement indicated that the NC diode has an abrupt junction. The grown CuO/ZnO NCs exhibited a broad light absorption range that is covering the UV and the entire visible parts of the spectrum.

Intensity fluctuations in J-Bessel–Gaussian beams of all orders propagating in turbulent atmosphere

The scintillation index of a J _n -Bessel–Gaussian beam of any order propagating in turbulent atmosphere is derived and numerically evaluated at transverse cross-sections with the aid of a specially designed triple integral routine. The graphical outputs indicate that, just like the previously investigated J ₀-Bessel–Gaussian beam, higher-order members of the family also offer favorable scintillation characteristics at large source sizes. This advantage is maintained against rising beam orders. Viewed along the propagation axis, beams with lower orders and smaller widths exhibit smaller values of the scintillation index at shorter propagation distances and large values at longer propagation distances. Further, it is shown that the scintillation index of the J _n -Bessel–Gaussian beams (n>0) is larger than that of the fundamental Gaussian and the J ₀-Bessel–Gaussian beams only near the on-axis points, while remaining smaller towards the edges of the beam.
