Effect of Correlated Dichotomous Noises on Stochastic Resonance in a Linear System

Abstract

A linear system driven by correlated asymmetric dichotomous noises and periodic signal was investigated in the overdamped case. The exact expressions of output signal amplitude and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the system were derived. By means of numerical calculations, we found that: (i) At some fixed multiplicative noise intensities, the output signal amplitude with frequency exhibits the structure of a weak peak, even no peak as the dichotomous noise is asymmetric; (ii) In the case of asymmetric dichotomous noise, the signal frequency can cause non-monotonous behavior of the output signal amplitude with respect to multiplicative noise intensity; (iii) The curve of SNR with frequency has a weak peak and a trough in the case of symmetric dichotomous noise, but no peak with asymmetric; (iv) Whether the multiplicative noise is symmetric or asymmetric, the noise can enhance response of the system; (v) The SNR increases with the correlation strength between the two noises decreasing. In addition, the plane of multiplicative noise intensity versus noise symmetric parameter was plotted.
