Spectral density of fluctuations in fractional bistable Klein-Kramers systems

Abstract

We investigate the stationary spectral density of fractional bistable Klein-Kramers systems. First, we deduce a dissipation-fluctuation relation between the stationary spectral density at thermal equilibrium and the linear response of the system to an applied perturbation. Second, we describe how to obtain the linear dynamic susceptibility from the method of moments, and thus we derive the fluctuating spectral density from the dissipation-fluctuation relation. Finally, we exhibit the structure of this fluctuating spectral distribution and explore the effect of the subdiffusion on it. Compared with the standard bistable Klein-Kramers systems, our observation on the spectral distribution in fractional systems reveals that the subdiffusion weakens the oscillatory components of the intrawell oscillation and the above-barrier motion. This phenomenon should reflect a fact that the particles tend to stand still in separate wells in subdiffusive processes.
