Stochastic resonance in a parallel array of nonlinear dynamical elements

چکیده
In an uncoupled parallel array of bistable dynamical elements subject to a common noisy subthreshold rectangular signal, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain can be improved by tuning the internally added array noise. A SNR gain above unity is observed in certain regions of the array noise intensity. The maximum SNR gain is obtained as the size of the array goes to infinity. This form of stochastic resonance (SR), i.e., array SR, is analytically described by introducing a quasi-stationary probability density model, yielding expressions for the transition probability and the stationary autocorrelation function. The analytical results have interpretative value for the mechanism of array SR, and may be of heuristic interest for applying array SR to related signal processing problems. Additionally, the analytical descriptions of an isolated bistable system agree well with numerical results of both conventional SR for a subthreshold rectangular input and residual SR for a slightly suprathreshold signal. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Analytical Study of Optical Bi-Stability of a Single-Bus Resonator Based on InGaAs Micro-Ring Array
In this paper, for the first time to our knowledge, we investigate the optical bi-stability in a compact parallel array of micro- ring resonators with 5μm radius, induced by optical nonlinearity. Due to the nature of perfect light confinement, resonance and accumulation process in a ring resonator, optical nonlinear effects, even at small optical power of a few milliwatts in this structure are ...
متن کاملNoise improvement of SNR gain in parallel array of bistable dynamic systems by array stochastic resonance
We report the regions where a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain exceeding unity exists in a parallel uncoupled array of identical bistable systems, for both subthreshold and suprathreshold sinusoids buried in broadband Gaussian white input noise. Due to independent noise in each element of the parallel array, the SNR gain of the collective array response approaches its local maximum exhibiting a...

This paper studies the output-input signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain of an uncoupled parallel array of static, yet arbitrary, nonlinear elements for transmitting a weak periodic signal in additive white noise. In the small-signal limit, an explicit expression for the SNR gain is derived. It serves to prove that the SNR gain is always a monotonically increasing function of the array size for any...

The present paper proposes a discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain watermarking scheme by exploiting nonlinear dynamical saturating detectors in the design of a watermark detection process. A binary copyright character, i.e. watermark to be hidden into an image, is firstly reordered into a binary zig-zag sequence, and then mapped onto the pulse amplitude modulated signal. A certain desynchroni...
متن کاملDynamical Control of Computations Using the Family of Optimal Two-point Methods to Solve Nonlinear Equations
One of the considerable discussions for solving the nonlinear equations is to find the optimal iteration, and to use a proper termination criterion which is able to obtain a high accuracy for the numerical solution. In this paper, for a certain class of the family of optimal two-point methods, we propose a new scheme based on the stochastic arithmetic to find the optimal number of iterations in...
