Effects of Time Delay on the Bistable System Subjected to Correlated Noises

The time-delayed bistable system subjected to the multiplicative and additive noises is investigated. In the condition of small delay time, the stationary probability distribution function （SPDF） is derived, and under the condition of large delay time, the SPDF is stochastically simulated. The analytical and simulative results indicate that： （i） For the case of λ = 0 （λ denotes the strength of correlations between the multiplicative and additive noises）, the time delay affects weakly the SPDF peak structure, and the symmetrical property of the SPDF two-peak structure does not change with the increasing delay time. （ii） For the case of λ≠0, the two-peak structure changes with the increasing delay time, i.e. one peak goes up and the other go down simultaneously as the delay time increases and along with further increase of the delay time, the lower peak disappears gradually while the higher one goes up, i.e. the structure of the SPDF changes from a bimodal to a unimodal and the system becomes monostable.     

Time Delay Induced Stochastic Resonance in One Species Competition Ecosystem without a Periodic Signal

One-species competition ecosystem with noise and time delay was investigated as not driven by a periodic force.The results show that the time delay is responsible for stochastic resonance of the system as delay time is smaller than critical point of the Hopf bifurcation.     

Symmetric Brownian motor subjected to Lévy noise

In the past few years, attention has mainly been focused on the symmetric Brownian motor(BM) with Gaussian noises, whose current and energy conversion efficiency are very low. Here, we investigate the operating performance of the symmetric BM subjected to Lévy noise. Through numerical simulations, it is found that the operating performance of the motor can be greatly improved in asymmetric Lévy noise. Without any load, the Lévy noises with smaller stable indexes can let the motor give rise to a ...     

Stochastic Resonance in a Spatially Symmetric and Flashing Periodic Potential Subjected to Correlated Noises

A Brownian particle in a spatially symmetric and flashing periodic potential subjected to correlated noises is investigated. The exact expression of its current is analytically derived. The numerical results indicate that its current as a function of noise intensity exhibits two peaks in the case of positive correlations, and two vales in the case of negative correlations, i.e., a novel stochastic resonance （SR） phenomenon. The SR is attributed to the harmonic cooperation between the noises and the flashing periodic potential. The conditions under which the SR occurs are also presented.     

Effect of inertial mass on a linear system driven by dichotomous noise and a periodic signal

A linear system driven by dichotomous noise and a periodic signal is investigated in the underdamped case. The exact expressions of output signal amplitude and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the system are derived. By means of numerical calculation, the results indicate that (i) at some fixed noise intensities, the output signal amplitude with inertial mass exhibits the structure of a single peak and single valley, or even two peaks if the dichotomous noise is asymmetric; (ii) in the case of asymmetric dichotomous noise, the inertial mass can cause non-monotonic behaviour of the output signal amplitude with respect to noise intensity; (iii) the curve of SNR versus inertial mass displays a maximum in the case of asymmetric dichotomous noise, i.e., a resonance-like phenomenon, while it decreases monotonically in the case of symmetric dichotomous noise; (iv) if the noise is symmetric, the inertial mass can induce stochastic resonance in the system.     

Resonant-Like Activation in a Bistable System with Noise and Time Delay

A bistable system with noise and time delay is investigated. Theoretical analysis and stochastic simulation show that： （i） In the ease of a system driven only by multiplicative Gaussian white noise, the mean first-passage time for a particle to reach the other stable state from one stable state exhibits a minimum with respect to delay time, i.e., a resonant-like activation （RA） phenomenon. （ii） In the action of additive and multiplicative noise, as the additive noise intensity increases, no matter whether a correlation between the two types of noise exists or not, the RA gradually disappears. （iii） The correlation strength between the two types of noise does not influence the existence of the RA.     

Effect of inertia mass on the stochastic resonance driven by a multiplicative dichotomous noise

A stochastic system driven by dichotomous noise and periodic signal is investigated in the under-damped case.The exact expressions of output signal amplitude and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) of the system are derived.Numerical results indicate that the inertial mass greatly affects the output signal amplitude and the SNR.Regardless of whether the noise is symmetric or asymmetric,the inertial mass can influence the phenomenon of stochastic resonance(SR) of the system,leading to two types of resonance phenomenon:one is coherence-resonance-like of the SNR with inertial mass,the other is the SR of the SNR with noise intensity.
