Coherence and stochastic resonance in a two-state system
The subject of our study is a two-state dynamics driven by Gaussian white noise and a weak harmonic signal. The system resulting from a piecewise linear FizHugh-Nagumo model in the case of perfect time scale separation between fast and slow variables shows either bistable, excitable, or oscillatory behavior. Its output spectra as well as the spectral power amplification of the signal can be calculated for arbitrary noise strength and frequency, allowing characterization of the coherence resonance in the bistable and excitable regimes as well as quantification of nonadiabatic resonances with respect to the external signal in all regimes.
