Stochastic resonance between dissipative structures in a bistable noise-sustained dynamics.

We study an extended system that without noise shows a monostable dynamics, but when submitted to an adequate multiplicative noise, an effective bistable dynamics arises. The stochastic resonance between the attractors of the noise-sustained dynamics is investigated theoretically in terms of a two-state approximation. The knowledge of the exact nonequilibrium potential allows us to obtain the output signal-to-noise ratio. Its maximum is predicted in the symmetric case for which both attractors have the same nonequilibrium potential value.

Trapping reactions for mobile particles and a trap in the laboratory frame.

We have used a stochastic model to obtain the exact spatial particle density profile for the trapping process A+B-->B in a one-dimensional lattice with a single trap, as seen from the laboratory frame. We obtain the profile for either perfect or imperfect reactions when A particles are immobile, but only for perfect absorption in the general case where both particles are mobile with different diffusivities. This profile is found to be similar to that seen from the reference system attached to the trap, the most noticeable difference being near the origin.

Reaction kinetics of diffusing particles injected into a reactive substrate.

We analyze the kinetics of trapping (A+B-->B) and annihilation (A+B-->0) processes on a one-dimensional substrate with homogeneous distribution of immobile B particles while the A particles are supplied by a localized source. For the imperfect reaction case, we analyze both problems by means of a stochastic model and compare the results with numerical simulations. In addition, we present the exact analytical results of the stochastic model for the case of perfect trapping.
