In this paper, we focus on the investigations on the stochastic stability and the stochastic resonance (SR) phenomena for a FitzHugh-Nagumo system with time delay induced by a multiplicative non-Gaussian colored noise and an additive Gaussian colored noise. By use of the fast descent method, the unified colored noise approximation and the two-state theory for the SR, the stationary probability density function (SPDF) and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) caused by different noise terms and time delay are explored. The investigation results indicate that the two noise intensities, time delay and the departure parameter from the Gaussian noise can all reduce the probability density around the two stable states and destroy the stability of the neural system; while the two noise correlation times τ and τ 0 can both improve the probability density around both stable states and reinforce the biological stability of the neural system. As regards the SNR, it is found that the two noise intensities and the departure coefficient can all weaken the SR effect, while time delay α and the correlation time τ of the multiplicative noise will always magnify the SR phenomenon. It is worth to mention that the correlation time τ 0 of the additive noise can stimulate the SR effect, but not alter the maximum of the SNR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the characteristics for the state transition between the boom state and the extinction one, varius stochastic resonance (SR) phenomena for a species population system induced by double time delays and colored cross-correlated Gaussian noises are investigated. The control of the species population system has an important effect on ecological balance and the development of human living environment. By means of the numerical calculation of the mean extinction time and the stationary probability density function (SPDF), we can figure out some fact: both external and internal noises, the noise correlation strength and its correlation time, one time delay can all reduce the ecological stability and shorten the survival time of the system; while the other time delay can enhance significantly the biological stability and postpone the extinction of the population. For the mean extinction time (MET) of the species population, it is found that noise correlation strength, time delay, the noise correlation time can all reduce the peak value of the MET, which leads to the reduction of the life cycle. Inversely, the other time delay will not change the maximum of the MET, and induce the peak value to shift to the left. With respect to the SNR, it is discovered that in the noise correlation strength and its correlation time, one-time delay mainly plays a prominent role in inhibiting the SR effect. On the contrary, the multiplicative noise can result in the enhancement of the resonant peak. In particular, the other time delay and the additive noise can stimulate the SR effect for the SNR during the initial period. However, the further increase of them will bring about the reduction of the resonant phenomenon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the regime shift behaviors between the prosperous state and the extinction state and stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon for a metapopulation system subjected to time delay and correlated Gaussian colored noises are investigated. Through the numerical calculation of the modified potential function and the stationary probability density function (SPDF), one can make clearly the following results: Both multiplicative noise and noise correlation times can improve effectively the ecological stability and prolong the survival time of the system; while additive noise, time delay and noise correlation strength can weaken significantly the biological stability and speed up the extinction of the population. As for the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), it is found that time delay, multiplicative noise and noise correlation strength can all impair the SR effect. Conversely, the two noise correlation times and additive noise are in favor of the improvement of the peak values of SNR. It is particularly worth mentioning that in the case of M = 0. 0 3 , time delay α and self-correlation time τ 2 of the additive noise display exactly the opposite effect on the stimulation of the resonant peak in the SNR– λ plots.

In the present paper, the stability and the phenomena of stochastic resonance (SR) for a FitzHugh–Nagumo (FHN) system with time delay driven by a multiplicative non-Gaussian noise and an additive Gaussian white noise are investigated. By using the fast descent method, unified colored noise approximation and the two-state theory for the SR, the expressions for the stationary probability density function (SPDF) and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are obtained. The research results show that the two noise intensities and time delay can always decrease the probability density at the two stable states and impair the stability of the neural system; while the noise correlation time τ can increase the probability density around both stable states and consolidate the stability of the neural system. Furthermore, the other noise correlation time τ 0 can increase the probability at the resting state, but reduce that around the excited state. With respect to the SNR, it is discovered that the two noise strengths can both weaken the SR effect, while time delay α and the departure parameter q will always amplify the SR phenomenon. Moreover, the noise correlation time τ 0 can motivate the SR effect, but not alter the peak value of the SNR. What's most interesting is that the other noise correlation time τ can not only stimulate the SR phenomenon, but also results in the occurrence of two resonant peaks, whose heights are simultaneously improved because of the action of τ.

In the present paper, the stability of the population system and the phenomena of the stochastic resonance (SR) for a metapopulation system induced by the terms of time delay, the multiplicative non-Gaussian noise, the additive colored Gaussian noise and a multiplicative periodic signal are investigated in detail. By applying the fast descent method, the unified colored noise approximation and the SR theory, the expressions of the steady-state probability function and the SNR are derived. It is shown that multiplicative non-Gaussian noise, the additive Gaussian noise and time delay can all weaken the stability of the population system, and even result in population extinction. Conversely, the two noise correlation times can both strengthen the stability of the biological system and contribute to group survival. In regard to the SNR for the metapopulation system impacted by the noise terms and time delay, it is revealed that the correlation time of the multiplicative noise can improve effectively the SR effect, while time delay would all along restrain the SR phenomena. On the other hand, although the additive noise and its correlation time can stimulate easily the SR effect, they cannot change the maximum of the SNR. In addition, the departure parameter from the Gaussian noise and the multiplicative noise play the opposite roles in motivating the SR effect in different cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the stable state transformation and the effect of the stochastic resonance (SR) for a metapopulation system are investigated, which is disturbed by time delay, the multiplicative non-Gaussian noise, the additive colored Gaussian noise and a multiplicative periodic signal. By use of the fast descent method, the approximation of the unified colored noise and the SR theory, the dynamical behaviors for the steady-state probability function and the SNR are analyzed. It is found that non-Gaussian noise, the colored Gaussian noise and time delay can all reduce the stability of the biological system, and even lead to the population extinction. Inversely, the self-correlation times of two noises can both increase the stability of the population system and be in favor of the population reproduction. As regards the SNR for the metapopulation system induced by the noise terms and time delay, it is discovered that time delay and the correlation time of the multiplicative noise can effectively enhance the SR effect, while the multiplicative noise and the correlation time of the additive noise would all the time suppress the SR phenomena. In addition, the additive noise can effectively motivate the SR effect, but not alter the peak value of the SNR. It is worth noting that the departure parameter from the Gaussian noise plays the diametrical roles in stimulating the SR effect in different cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the stability and the phenomenon of stochastic resonance (SR) for a stochastic time-delayed cancer development system that is induced by the multiplicative periodic signal, the multiplicative and the additive noises are investigated. By using the fast descent method, small time delay method and the two-state theory, the expressions of the steady state probability distribution function and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are obtained. Numerical results reflect that the multiplicative and additive noise always restrain the diffusion of the cancer cells. Whereas, the time delay can not only control the spread of the tumor cells, but also suppress the extinction of cancer cells. Meanwhile, the conventional SR occurs in the tumor cell growth model under the excitation of different noises and time delay. In conclusion, the multiplicative noise always plays a critical role in restraining SR, a smaller additive noise can stimulate the SR, but the larger additive noise can weaken the SR and SNR. In particular, the time delay displays relatively complicated effects on the SR phenomenon of the system. It plays different roles in motivating or suppressing SR under the different conditions of parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we investigate the steady-state properties and the transition rate for an ecological vegetation growth system induced by the terms of the colored multiplicative and additive noises. Numerical results indicate that the multiplicative noise and the additive one can reduce the stability of the ecological system and slow down the development velocity of the vegetation, while two noise self-correlation times can increase the stability of the system and speed up the expansion process of the vegetation system. With respect to the stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon caused by noise terms and a multiplicative weak periodic signal, the results show that the additive noise always enhances the SR effect, two noise self-correlation time terms can produce SR phenomenon, but play opposite roles in enhancing or inhibiting the SR effect under different parameter conditions. In particular, the two self-correlation times can keep up the maximum of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) invariant in specific situations. Analogously, the multiplicative noise can not only improve the SNR, but also restrain the SR phenomenon in different cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we focus on investigating the steady state behaviors and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a stochastic metapopulation system with time delay induced by the cross-correlated multiplicative non-Gaussian noise and additive Gaussian noise. It is found by the numerical calculation that time delay, the strength of the multiplicative noise, the intensity of the additive one and the departure parameter from the Gaussian noise can all reduce greatly the stability of the biological population system and hold down the reproduction of the metapopulation, while the correlation time of the multiplicative noise and the noise correlation strength can strengthen the stability of the ecological system and facilitate the expansion of the population system. As regards the stochastic resonance effect (SR) evoked by time delay, the correlated noises and a multiplicative periodic signal, the consequence exhibits that due to the action of the noise correlation time τ , the SR effect is always enhanced. While time delay α , the departure parameter q and the noise intensity Q play mainly critical roles in weakening the SR and reducing the SNR. On different occasions, the noise correlation strength λ plays inverse roles in stimulating the SR effect. In particular, what is worth mentioning is that in the SNR- τ plots, time delay α , the noise intensities Q , M will all improve greatly the maximum of the SNR. • A stochastic metapopulation system is established. • The modified potential function and the SPDF is analyzed. • The SR phenomenon for the population system is discussed.
