Phenomenon of stochastic resonance caused by multiplicative asymmetric dichotomous noise

Abstract

The exact expression of the first moment and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) have been calculated for a linear system subject to an external periodic field as well as a multiplicative asymmetric dichotomous noise, by using the Shapiro-Loginov formula. It has been found that the amplitude of the output signal, and the SNR, respectively, exhibit two kinds of the phenomena of stochastic resonance: one is as the functions of the parameters of the asymmetric dichotomous noise, such as the noise strength D, and the parameter k describing the asymmetric degree of the dichotomous noise; the other is as the function of the parameter of the input signal, such as the input signal frequency omega.
