System size stochastic resonance: general nonequilibrium potential framework.

We study the phenomenon of system size stochastic resonance within the nonequilibrium potential framework. We analyze three different cases of spatially extended systems, exploiting the knowledge of their nonequilibrium potential, showing that through the analysis of that potential we can obtain a clear physical interpretation of this phenomenon in wide classes of extended systems. Depending on the characteristics of the system, the phenomenon is associated with a breaking of the symmetry of the nonequilibrium potential or a deepening of the potential minima yielding an effective scaling of the noise intensity with the system size.

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.
