Abstract:
Stochastic resonance (SR) manifests as switching dynamics between two quasi-stationary states in the stochastic Mackey-Glass equation. We identify chaotic SR, arising from the coexistence of resonance and chaos in stochastic dynamics. In contrast to classical SR, which is described by a random point attractor with a negative largest Lyapunov exponent, chaotic SR is described by a random strange attractor with a positive largest Lyapunov exponent. We observe chaotic SR in the Mackey-Glass equation as well as chaotic SR in the Duffing equation and the underdamped FitzHugh-Nagumo equation, demonstrating the universality of this phenomenon across a broad class of strongly nonlinear random dynamical systems.
