Impact of Time Delay and Non-Gaussian Noise on Stochastic Resonance and Stability for a Stochastic Metapopulation System Driven by a Multiplicative Periodic Signal

In the present paper, the stability of the population system and the phenomena of the stochastic resonance (SR) for a metapopulation system induced by the terms of time delay, the multiplicative non-Gaussian noise, the additive colored Gaussian noise and a multiplicative periodic signal are investigated in detail. By applying the fast descent method, the unified colored noise approximation and the SR theory, the expressions of the steady-state probability function and the SNR are derived. It is shown that multiplicative non-Gaussian noise, the additive Gaussian noise and time delay can all weaken the stability of the population system, and even result in population extinction. Conversely, the two noise correlation times can both strengthen the stability of the biological system and contribute to group survival. In regard to the SNR for the metapopulation system impacted by the noise terms and time delay, it is revealed that the correlation time of the multiplicative noise can improve effectively the SR effect, while time delay would all along restrain the SR phenomena. On the other hand, although the additive noise and its correlation time can stimulate easily the SR effect, they cannot change the maximum of the SNR. In addition, the departure parameter from the Gaussian noise and the multiplicative noise play the opposite roles in motivating the SR effect in different cases.

Time delay and non-Gaussian noise-induced stochastic stability and stochastic resonance for a metapopulation system subjected to a multiplicative periodic signal

In this paper, the stable state transformation and the effect of the stochastic resonance (SR) for a metapopulation system are investigated, which is disturbed by time delay, the multiplicative non-Gaussian noise, the additive colored Gaussian noise and a multiplicative periodic signal. By use of the fast descent method, the approximation of the unified colored noise and the SR theory, the dynamical behaviors for the steady-state probability function and the SNR are analyzed. It is found that non-Gaussian noise, the colored Gaussian noise and time delay can all reduce the stability of the biological system, and even lead to the population extinction. Inversely, the self-correlation times of two noises can both increase the stability of the population system and be in favor of the population reproduction. As regards the SNR for the metapopulation system induced by the noise terms and time delay, it is discovered that time delay and the correlation time of the multiplicative noise can effectively enhance the SR effect, while the multiplicative noise and the correlation time of the additive noise would all the time suppress the SR phenomena. In addition, the additive noise can effectively motivate the SR effect, but not alter the peak value of the SNR. It is worth noting that the departure parameter from the Gaussian noise plays the diametrical roles in stimulating the SR effect in different cases.

Stability and Stochastic Resonance for a Time-Delayed Cancer Development System Subjected to Noises and Multiplicative Periodic Signal

In this paper, the stability and the phenomenon of stochastic resonance (SR) for a stochastic time-delayed cancer development system that is induced by the multiplicative periodic signal, the multiplicative and the additive noises are investigated. By using the fast descent method, small time delay method and the two-state theory, the expressions of the steady state probability distribution function and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are obtained. Numerical results reflect that the multiplicative and additive noise always restrain the diffusion of the cancer cells. Whereas, the time delay can not only control the spread of the tumor cells, but also suppress the extinction of cancer cells. Meanwhile, the conventional SR occurs in the tumor cell growth model under the excitation of different noises and time delay. In conclusion, the multiplicative noise always plays a critical role in restraining SR, a smaller additive noise can stimulate the SR, but the larger additive noise can weaken the SR and SNR. In particular, the time delay displays relatively complicated effects on the SR phenomenon of the system. It plays different roles in motivating or suppressing SR under the different conditions of parameters.
