The correlation between stochastic resonance and theaverage phase-synchronization time of a bistable system driven bycolour-correlated noises

This paper investigates the correlation between stochastic resonance (SR) and the average phase-synchronization time which is between the input signal and the output signal in a bistable system driven by colour-correlated noises. The results show that the output signal-to-noise ratio can reach a maximum with the increase of the average phase-synchronization time, which may be helpful for understanding the principle of SR from the point of synchronization; however, SR and the maximum of the average phase-synchronization time appear at different optimal noise level, moreover, the effects on them of additive and multiplicative noise are different.
