Abstract:
We generalize stochastic resonance to the nonadiabatic limit by treating the double-well potential using two quadratic potentials. We use a singular perturbation method to determine an approximate analytical solution for the probability density function that asymptotically connects local solutions in boundary layers near the two minima with those in the region of the maximum that separates them. The validity of the analytical solution is confirmed numerically. Free from the constraints of the adiabatic limit, the approach allows us to predict the escape rate from one stable basin to another for systems experiencing a more complex periodic forcing.

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
