title: Coherence enhancement in nonlinear systems subject to multiplicative Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise.
abstract: We show that for two biologically relevant models with self-sustained oscillations under the action of a multiplicative Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, their coherence response behaves nonmonotonically with the process correlation time. There is a correlation time for which the quality factor is optimized. This phenomenon is a consequence of the interplay between the correlation time and the system's periodicity. This relation is evidenced through a power law relation with an exponent close to -1 / 2.
