Multimodality in systems driven by Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise

Abstract:
The presence of noise in nonlinear dynamical systems can significantly change their properties. Here, we study the properties of a noise perturbed motion in a single-well potential of |x|n (n>0) type. We explore under what conditions the action of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise induces bimodality of stationary states in static, single-well, power-law potentials. In particular, we inspect the transition from unimodality (n⩽2) to bimodality (n>2). Results of numerical simulations are compared with estimates obtained from the unified colored-noise approximation. Furthermore, we explore the role of a harmonic addition to the general single-well power-law potentials showing its constructive or destructive role.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
