It is shown that additive noise in itself can induce a hidden phase transition, which is similar to the transition induced by multiplicative noise in a nonlinear oscillator [P. Landa and A. Zaikin, Phys. Rev. E 54, 3535 (1996)]. Investigation of different nonlinear models that demonstrate phase transitions induced by multiplicative noise shows that the influence of additive noise upon such phase transitions can be crucial: additive noise can either blur such a transition or stabilize noise-induced oscillations.}, language = {en} }
