Surmounting collectively oscillating bottlenecks
We study the collective escape dynamics of a chain of coupled, weakly damped nonlinear oscillators from a metastable state over a barrier when driven by a thermal heat bath in combination with a weak, globally acting periodic perturbation. Optimal parameter choices are identified that lead to a drastic enhancement of escape rates as compared to a pure noise-assisted situation. We elucidate the ...
متن کاملSurmounting oscillating barriers: path-integral approach for weak noise
We consider the thermally activated escape of an overdamped Brownian particle over a potential barrier in the presence of periodic driving. A time-dependent path-integral formalism is developed which allows us to derive asymptotically exact weak-noise expressions for both the instantaneous and the time-averaged escape rate. Our results comprise a conceptually different, systematic treatment of ...
متن کاملTransmission bottlenecks and RNAi collectively influence tick-borne flavivirus evolution
Arthropod-borne RNA viruses exist within hosts as heterogeneous populations of viral variants and, as a result, possess great genetic plasticity. Understanding the micro-evolutionary forces shaping these viruses can provide insights into how they emerge, adapt, and persist in new and changing ecological niches. While considerable attention has been directed toward studying the population dynami...
متن کاملBargaining collectively ∗
Many bargaining situations take place between a central agent and a group of individuals acting collectively where (i) the proposals are restricted to treat all the group members equally, (ii) the decisions of the group are reached through a voting process, and (iii) the vote binds all the members of the group. Examples include debt restructuring negotiations between a troubled company and its ...
متن کاملResonances while surmounting a fluctuating barrier
Electronic analog experiments on escape over a fluctuating potential barrier are performed for the case when the fluctuations are caused by Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise (OUN). In its dependence on the relation between the two OUN parameters (the correlation time tau and noise strength Q) the nonmonotonic variation of the mean escape time T as a function of tau can exhibit either a minimum (resonant...
