Stochastic resonance of asymmetric bistable system with α stable noise

Abstract

In this paper we take the asymmetric bistable system excited by weak periodic signal as a model and regard signal-to-noise ratio gain as an index to investigate the stochastic resonance phenomenon stimulated by additive and multiplicative α stable noise. Stochastic resonance phenomenon stimulated by only additive α stable noise is also investigated here. The laws for the resonance system parameters a, b, asymmetric skewness r and intensity amplification factor Q or D of α stable noise to act on the resonant output are explored under different stability index α and skewness parameter β of α stable noise. The results show that no matter whether under the joint action of additive and multiplicative α stable noise or under the action of only additive α stable noise, weak signal detection can be realized by tuning the system parameters a, b and r. The intervals of a, b and r which can induce stochastic resonances are multiple, and do not change with α nor β. Moreover, when investigating the noise-induced stochastic resonance, it is found that stochastic resonance can also be realized by tuning the intensity amplification factor of α stable noise. And the interval of D does not change with α nor β. The results will contribute to a reasonable selection of parameter-induced stochastic resonance system parameters and noise intensity of noise-induced stochastic resonance under α stable noise.
