Colored Gaussian noises induced stochastic resonance and stability transition for an insect growth system driven by a multiplicative periodic signal

Abstract

In this paper, we focus on investigating the steady-state shift behaviors and the stochastic resonance phenomenon (SR) for a biological insect population system with a multiplicative periodic signal caused by the terms of the colored multiplicative and additive noises. Our research results imply that the multiplicative noise and the self-correlation of the additive noise can weaken the stability of the biological system and restrain the growth of the insect population, while the additive noise and the self-correlation time of the multiplicative noise can strengthen the stability of the insect system and facilitate the biological population to breed. As regards to the phenomenon of the SR evoked by a multiplicative periodic signal, noise terms and their correlation times, the computed results show that the additive noise intensity M and the self- correlation time τ1 of the multiplicative noise can both improve the SR effect. Inversely, the multiplicative noise intensity Q and the self-correlation time τ2 of the additive noise can suppress together the SR phenomenon. Whereas, it should be pointed out that in the SNR-Q and SNR-M plots, the two self-correlation times can both motivate a resonant peak, but not change the peak value of the SNR no matter how the two noise correlation times vary.
