This study introduces a new method to analyze basin stability in non-smooth stochastic systems with threshold control. Findings show threshold control significantly alters how environmental noise impacts system stability.
Area of Science:
- Stochastic Systems Analysis
- Non-smooth Dynamics
- Computational Physics
Background:
- Existing research on basin stability often simplifies systems to smooth models or pre-defined basins.
- Analyzing non-smooth stochastic systems, especially with threshold control, presents significant challenges.
- Understanding basin stability is crucial for predicting system behavior under uncertainty.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a novel framework for discovering basin stability in non-smooth stochastic competition systems with threshold control.
- To analyze the impact of threshold control on system dynamics and environmental noise.
- To provide a method for calculating the first transition probability of irregular attraction basins.
Main Methods:
- Utilized an extended Kramers-Moyal expansion with initial state partitioning to approximate drift and diffusion terms.
- Applied difference schemes and smooth approximation methods to calculate the first transition probability for irregular basins.
- Employed numerical simulations to validate the accuracy of the approximated terms and methods.
Main Results:
- Successfully approximated drift and diffusion terms in a non-smooth stochastic system under threshold control.
- Validated the accuracy of the approximation methods through numerical simulations.
- Demonstrated that threshold control parameters influence the system's basin stability in response to environmental noise.
Conclusions:
- The developed framework effectively identifies basin stability in complex, non-smooth stochastic systems.
- Threshold control plays a critical role in modulating the effects of environmental noise on system dynamics.
- This research offers new insights into the behavior of stochastic systems with practical control mechanisms.
