Dynamics of a FitzHugh-Nagumo system subjected to autocorrelated noise

Davide Valenti; G. Augello; Bernardo Spagnolo

We analyze the dynamics of the FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) model in the presence of colored noise and a periodic signal. Two cases are considered: (i) the dynamics of the membrane potential is affected by the noise, (ii) the slow dynamics of the recovery variable is subject to noise. We investigate the role of the colored noise on the neuron dynamics by the mean response time (MRT) of the neuron. We find meaningful modifications of the resonant activation (RA) and noise enhanced stability (NES) phenomena due to the correlation time of the noise. For strongly correlated noise we observe suppression of NES effect and persistence of RA phenomenon, with an efficiency enhancement of the neuronal response. Finally we show that the self-correlation of the colored noise causes a reduction of the effective noise intensity, which appears as a rescaling of the fluctuations affecting the FHN system.

Lifetime of the superconductive state in short and long Josephson junctions

G. Augello; Davide Valenti; Andrey L. Pankratov; Bernardo Spagnolo

AbstractWe study the transient statistical properties of short and long Josephson junctions under the influence of thermal and correlated fluctuations. In particular, we investigate the lifetimenof the superconductive metastable state finding the presence of noise induced phenomena. For short Josephson junctions we investigate the lifetime as a function both of the frequency of the current driving signal and the noise intensity and we find how these noise-induced effects are modified by the presence of a correlated noise source. For long Josephson junctions we integrate numericallynthe sine-Gordon equation calculating the lifetime as a function of the length of the junction both for inhomogeneous and homogeneous bias current distributions. We obtain a non-monotonic behavior of the lifetime as a function of the frequency of the current driving signal and the correlation time of the noise. Moreover we find two maxima in the non-monotonic behaviour of the mean escape time as anfunction of the correlated noise intensity.

Effects of colored noise in short overdamped Josephson junction

G. Augello; Davide Valenti; Bernardo Spagnolo

We investigate the transient dynamics of a short overdamped Josephson junction with a periodic driving signal in the presence of colored noise. We analyze noise induced phenomena, specifically resonant activation and noise enhanced stability. We find that the positions both of the minimum of RA and maximum of NES depend on the value of the noise correlation time τc. Moreover, in the range where RA is observed, we find a non-monotonic behavior of the mean switching time as a function of τc.

Noise stabilization effects in models of interdisciplinary physics

Bernardo Spagnolo; G. Augello; P. Caldara; Alessandro Fiasconaro; A. La Cognata; Nicola Pizzolato; Davide Valenti; Alexander A. Dubkov; Andrey L. Pankratov

Metastability is a generic feature of many nonlinear systems, and the problem of the lifetime of metastable states involves fundamental aspects of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. The investigation of noise-induced phenomena in far from equilibrium systems is one of the approaches used to understand the behaviour of physical and biological complex systems. The enhancement of the lifetime of metastable states through the noise enhanced stability effect and the role played by the resonant activation phenomenon will be discussed in models of interdisciplinary physics: (i) polymer translocation dynamics; (ii) transient regime of FitzHugh-Nagumo model; (iii) market stability in a nonlinear Heston model; (iv) dynamics of Josephson junctions; (v) metastability in a quantum bitable system.

Role of the colored noise in a FitzHugh‐Nagumo system driven by a periodic signal

Davide Valenti; G. Augello; Bernardo Spagnolo

We study the role of the fluctuations in the dynamics of a FitzHugh‐Nagumo system in the presence both of a periodic driving signal and an additive coloured Gaussian noise with correlation time τ. We investigate the system in two different cases: the equation for the membrane potential contains the noise term (case I), the equation for the recovery variable is noisy (case II). We find that the positions both of minimum of Resonant Activation (RA) and maximum of Noise Enhanced Stability (NES), which appear in the presence of white noise, change as a function of τ, when coloured noise sources are used.

We analyze the role of the correlated fluctuations, with a correlation time τc, in the dynamics of an overdamped Josephson junction in the presence of a periodic driving signal.

Enhancement of stability in systems with metastable states

Bernardo Spagnolo; G. Augello; Alessandro Fiasconaro; Nicola Pizzolato; Davide Valenti

The investigation of noise‐induced phenomena in far from equilibrium systems is one of the approach used to understand the behaviour of physical and biological complex systems. Metastability is a generic feature of many nonlinear systems, and the problem of the lifetime of metastable states involves fundamental aspects of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. The enhancement of the life‐time of metastable states through the noise enhanced stability effect and the role played by the resonant activation phenomenon will be discussed in models of interdisciplinary physics: (i) Ising model (ii) Josephson junction; (iii) stochastic FitzHugh‐Nagumo model; (iv) a population dynamics model, and (v) a market model with stochastic volatility.
