Impact of time delay and a multiplicative periodic signal on stochastic resonance and steady states shift for a stochastic insect outbreak system subjected to Gaussian noises

摘要

In this paper, we aim to investigate comprehensively the steady-states characteristics, the stochastic resonance phenomenon and the mean decline time for an insect outbreak system caused by the terms of the multiplicative, additive noises and time delay,. Our results exhibit that the multiplicative noise and the time delay can both reduce the stability of the biological system and speed up the extinction process of the insect population, while the additive noise can decrease the possibility of the decline of the biological population by a wide margin and make contribution to the survival and reproduction of the insect system to some extent. On the other hand, as regards to the stochastic resonance phenomenon (SR) induced by noise terms, time delay term and a weak multiplicative periodic signal, the numerical results show that the multiplicative noise intensity Q always suppresses the SR effect in any case, while the additive noise intensity M can inhibit the SR effect in the case of a big value of Q, but excite the maximum of the SNR for the case of a small value of Q. Moreover, time delay tau exerts mainly the inhibitory effect on the SR phenomenon except that in the SNR-Q plot.
