Pinning noise-induced stochastic resonance

Abstract

This paper proposes the concept of pinning noise and then investigates the phenomenon of stochastic resonance of coupled complex systems driven by pinning noise, where the noise has an α-stable distribution. Two kinds of pinning noise are taken into account: partial noise and switching noise. In particular, we establish a connection between switching noise and global noise when Gaussian noise is considered. It is shown that switching noise can not only achieve a stronger resonance effect, but it is also more robust to induce the resonance effect than partial noise. © 2013 American Physical Society.
