Stochastic Resonance in Washboard Potentials
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the mobility of an overdamped particle in a periodic potential tilted by a constant force. The mobility exhibits a stochastic resonance in inhomogeneous systems with space dependent friction coefficient. The result indicates that the presence of oscillating external field is not essential for the observability of stochastic resonance, at least in the inhomogenous medium.

Stochastic resonance in bistable confining potentials On the role of confinement
We study the effects of the confining conditions on the occurrence of stochastic resonance (SR) in continuous bistable systems. We model such systems by means of double-well potentials that diverge like |x| for |x| → ∞. For super-harmonic (hard) potentials with q > 2 the SR peak sharpens with increasing q, whereas for sub-harmonic (soft) potentials, q < 2, it gets suppressed. PACS. 05.40.-a Flu...
متن کاملEffect of mechanical tactile noise on the amplitude 1 of visual evoked potentials : Multisensory 2 stochastic resonance
40 The present investigation documents the electrophysiological occurrence of 41 multisensory stochastic resonance in the human visual pathway elicited by tactile 42 noise. We define multisensory stochastic resonance of brain evoked potentials as 43 the phenomenon in which an intermediate level of input noise of one sensory 44 modality enhances the brain evoked response of another sensory modal...
متن کاملControlling adsorption of semiflexible polymers on planar and curved substrates.
We study the adsorption of semiflexible polymers such as polyelectrolytes or DNA on planar and curved substrates, e.g., spheres or washboard substrates via short-range potentials using extensive Monte Carlo simulations, scaling arguments, and analytical transfer matrix techniques. We show that the adsorption threshold of stiff or semiflexible polymers on a planar substrate can be controlled by ...

متن کاملStochastic Resonance and Optimal Clustering for Assemblies of Ion Channels
We consider the statistical properties of action potentials generated by clusters of sodium and potassium channels due to channel noise and/or external stimulation. Since the fluctuations are related to the cluster size, a size-resonance effect — analog to stochastic resonance — is observed that facilitates optimal decoding of small external stimuli at optimal cluster sizes. Furthermore, in ana...
