Multiplicative Noise in Non-equilibrium Phase Transitions: A tutorial
نویسنده
چکیده
Stochastic phenomena in which the noise amplitude is proportional to the fluctuating variable itself, usually called multiplicative noise, appear ubiquitously in physics, biology, economy and social sciences. The properties of spatially extended systems with this type of stochasticity, paying special attention to the non-equilibrium phase transitions these systems may exhibit, are reviewed here. In particular we study and classify the possible universality classes of such transitions, and discuss some specific physical realizations including depinning transitions of non-equilibrium interfaces, nonequilibrium wetting phenomena, synchronization of spatially extended systems and many others.

Parametric phase transition in one dimension
– We calculate analytically the phase boundary for a nonequilibrium phase transition in a one-dimensional array of coupled, overdamped parametric harmonic oscillators in the limit of strong and weak spatial coupling. Our results show that the transition is reentrant with respect to the spatial coupling in agreement with the prediction of the mean field theory. Since the landmark paper of Onsage...
متن کاملNonequilibrium phase transitions induced by multiplicative noise: effects of self-correlation
A recently introduced lattice model, describing an extended system which exhibits a reentrant (symmetry-breaking, second-order) noise-induced nonequilibrium phase transition, is studied under the assumption that the multiplicative noise leading to the transition is colored. Within an effective Markovian approximation and a mean-field scheme it is found that when the self-correlation time tau of...
متن کاملColored noise influence on the system evolution
We present a picture of phase transitions of the system with colored multiplicative noise. Considering the noise amplitude as the power– law dependence of the stochastic variable xa we show the way to phase transitions disorder–order and order–disorder. The governed equations for the order parameter and one-time correlator are obtained and investigated in details. The long–time asymptotes in th...
متن کاملMesoscopic description of the annealed Ising model, and multiplicative noise
A new type of Langevin equation exhibiting a nontrivial phase transition associated with the presence of multiplicative noise is discussed. The equation is derived as a mesoscopic representation of the microscopic annealed Ising model ~AIM! proposed by Thorpe and Beeman, and reproduces perfectly its basic phenomenology. The AIM exhibits a nontrivial behavior as the temperature is increased, in ...
متن کاملPhase transitions in distributed control systems with multiplicative noise
We study a simple model pertinent to distributed algorithms and control, that has been well studied in the prior literature in the presence of additive noise. The model in question belongs to the class of so-called network consensus (or gossip) algorithms, which provide a local algorithms for computing global means of values distributed over the nodes of a network. We show that this simple mode...
