title: Lévy noises: double stochastic resonance in a single-well potential.
abstract: We study properties of a single-well fourth-order potential perturbed by a periodically modulated stable noise. Periodic modulation of the stable noise asymmetry results in an occurrence of the dynamical hysteresis which is the manifestation of the stochastic resonance in the system at hand. We show that the single-well potential with time modulated stable driving is a minimalistic setup, allowing the occurrence of the stochastic resonance (as measured by the hysteresis loop area). Finally, we demonstrate that the observed stochastic resonance is of the double type, i.e., the system efficiency measured by the hysteresis loop area depends in a nonmonotonous way both on the scale parameter (noise intensity) and on the stability exponent characterizing tails asymptotic of noise pulses.
