Stochastic resonance in a bistable system subject to multiplicative and additive noise
The stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon in a bistable system under the simultaneous action of multiplicative and additive noise and periodic signal is studied by using the theory of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the adiabatic limit. Two cases have been considered: the case of no correlations between multiplicative and additive noise and the case of correlations between two noises. The expressions of the SNR for both cases are obtained. The effects of intensity of multiplicative and additive noise and the intensity of the correlations between noises on the SNR are discussed for both cases, respectively. It is found that the existence of a maximum in the SNR is the identifying characteristic of the SR phenomenon. In the case of no correlations between multiplicative and additive noise, the SNR is independent of the initial condition of the system. However, the SNR is not only dependent on the intensity of correlations between noises, but also on the initial condition of the system in the presence of correlations between two noises.
