We solve the Fokker-Planck equation for an overdamped Brownian particle in a periodically forced bistable potential by means of a path integral method, obtaining the propagators in the steepest-descent (small-noise) approximation. We compute the long-times asymptotic probability distribution, the asymptotic correlation functions, and the time-averaged spectral density, which allows us the immediate calculation of the signal to noise ratio, a directly measurable quantity useful to characterize the phenomenon of stochastic resonance. Our numerical algorithm is fast and runs on a desktop computer, and the results agree with experiments and with former theoretical calculations of the amplification factor; in addition it allows us to calculate the experimentally more accessible signal to noise ratio.

AbstractThe occurrence of stochastic resonance in bistable systems undergoing anomalous diffusions, which arise from density-dependent fluctuations, is investigated with an emphasis on the analytical formulation of the problem as well as a possible analytical derivation of key quantifiers of stochastic resonance. The nonlinear Fokker–Planck equation describing the system dynamics, together with the corresponding Ito–Langevin equation, is formulated. In the linear response regime, analytical expressions of the spectral amplification, of the signal-to-noise ratio and of the hysteresis loop area are derived as quantifiers of stochastic resonance. These quantifiers are found to be strongly dependent on the parameters controlling the type of diffusion; in particular, the peak characterizing the signal-to-noise ratio occurs only in close ranges of parameters. Results introduce the relevant information that, taking into consideration the interactions of anomalous diffusive systems with a periodic signal, can provide a better understanding of the physics of stochastic resonance in bistable systems driven by periodic forces.

Using numerical simulation, we establish the possibility of realizing the stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon in Chua’s circuit when it is excited by either an amplitude-modulated or a frequency-modulated signal. It is shown that the application of a frequency-modulated signal to a Chua’s circuit operating in a regime of dynamical intermittency is preferable over an amplitude-modulated signal from the point of view of minimizing the signal distortion and maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

It has recently been reported that in some systems showing stochastic resonance, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the output can significantly exceed that at the input; in other words, SNR gain is possible. We took two such systems, the non-dynamical Schmitt trigger and the dynamical double wellpotential, and using numerical and mixed-signal simulation techniques, we examined what SNR gains these systems can provide. In the non-linear response limit, we obtained SNR gains much greater than unity for both systems. In addition to the classical narrow-band SNR definition, we also measured the ratio of the total power of the signal to the power of the noise part, and it showed even better signal improvement. Here we present a brief review of our results, and scrutinise, for both the Schmitt-trigger and the double well potential, the behaviour of the SNR gain by stochastic resonance for different signal amplitudes and duty cycles. We also discuss the mechanism of providing gains greater than unity.
