TY - JOUR A1 - Landa, Polina S. A1 - Ushakov, Vladimir A1 - Kurths, Jürgen T1 - Rigorous theory of stochastic resonance in overdamped bistable oscillators for weak signals JF - Chaos, solitons & fractals : applications in science and engineering N2 - The results of the theoretical consideration of stochastic resonance in overdamped bistable oscillators are given. These results are founded not on the model of two states as in [McNamara B, Wiesenfeld K. Theory of stochastic resonance. Phys Rev A 1989;39:4854-69], but on splitting of motion into regular and random and the rigorous solution of the Fokker-Planck equation for the random component. We show that this resonance is caused by a change, under the influence of noise, of the system's effective stiffness and damping factor contained in the equation for the regular component. For a certain value of the noise intensity the effective stiffness is minimal, and this fact causes non-monotonic change of the output signal amplitude as the noise intensity changes. It is important that the location of the minimum and its value depend essentially on the signal frequency.
