Abstract:
In this, the fourth of a series of papers [the first three papers were Phys. Rev. E 68, 016103 (2003), 68, 036133 (2003), and Phys. Lett. A 334, 12 (2005)] on the response of overdamped noisy bistable systems subject to an asymmetrizing constant signal superimposed on a time-sinusoidal driving signal, we obtain analytic expressions for the power spectral density of the response, including a detailed theoretical analysis of the power spectrum. The results are valid for any two-state system, however the specific case of the Duffing (or standard quartic) potential is considered in detail. The stochastic dynamics are confined to the weak noise limit (periodic signal amplitude much greater than noise intensity), i.e., when the response of the system to the external periodic field is strongly nonlinear.

BIBO stability of continuous and discrete -time systems
To determine the BIBO stability, the convolution integral is utilized when a bounded continuous-time input is applied to a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system.
Pole and System Stability
Simple poles are unique roots of the denominator polynomial. Each simple pole corresponds to a distinct solution to the system's characteristic equation, typically resulting in exponential decay terms in the system's response.
Stability
The stability of an LTI system is determined by the roots of its characteristic equation, known as poles. A system is stable if it produces a bounded...
