Exhibition of intrinsic properties of certain systems in response to external disturbances.
Two systems, which are models of biological processes, are considered. These systems are notable for responding to different external actions nearly alike. This is associated with the fact that an external action excites only their natural intrinsic motions. Two kinds of external actions, harmonic and random, are studied. It is shown that each of them induces a transition to a new state that can be treated as a peculiar kind of phase transitions. Characteristics of these phase transitions are found.
