Impact of colored cross-correlated noises on stochastic resonance and mean extinction rate for a metapopulation system with a multiplicative periodic signal

摘要

In this paper, we aim to explore the mean extinction rate and the phenomena of the stochastic resonance (SR) for a metapopulation system induced by a multiplicative periodic signal, colored cross-correlated multiplicative and additive Gaussian noises. By use of the fast descent method and the adiabatic approximation theory for the signal-to-noise ratio, we obtain the expression of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Numerical results indicate that the various SR phenomena occur in the metapopulation system due to the variation of the noise terms and the correlation time. Specifically, the noise correlation always plays a critical role in motivating the SR phenomenon, while the multiplicative noise exerts the inhibition effect on the SR. Interestingly, the weak additive noise can stimulate the resonant peak of the SNR, while the further increase of the noise intensity will lead to the reduction of the SR effect. On the other hand, the noise correlation time tau plays antipodal roles in motivating the SR phenomenon under different circumstances. With regard to the mean extinction rate of the population from the boom state to the extinction one, by performing the numerical calculations, it is found that the additive noise always accelerate the extinction of the population, while the correlation noise will slow down the decline for the population. The role that the noise correlation time plays in the population extinction depends on the values that lambda takes.
