Abstract

We consider the phenomenon of prebifurcation noise amplification in a nonlinear oscillator at the threshold of a bifurcation of spontaneous symmetry breaking. The studies are based on the model of a nonlinear oscillator in which the potential relief transforms from monostable to symmetric bistable and the noise acting on the system is assumed Gaussian and short-correlated. The fluctuation variance as a function of the regime of the system and the rate at which the bifurcation threshold is reached are examined. Our analytical estimates are in good agreement with the results of numerical simulation for both the linear growth and the nonlinear saturation of fluctuations. It is noted that in the case of fast bifurcation transitions, a loop of noise-dependent hysteresis and breaking of probability symmetry of stable final states are observed in the nonlinear oscillator.
