    Modulated class A laser: stochastic resonance in a limit-cycle potential system

    We exploit the knowledge of the nonequilibrium potential in a model for the modulated class A laser. We analyse both, the deterministic and the stochastic dynamics of such a system in terms of the Lyapunov po...

    The noisy Hegselmann-Krause model for opinion dynamics

    In the model for continuous opinion dynamics introduced by Hegselmann and Krause, each individual moves to the average opinion of all individuals within an area of confidence. In this work we study the effect...

    Resonance Induced by Repulsive Links

    In nonlinear systems, the right amount of noise can amplify the response to a weak periodic signal, by a phenomenon known as stochastic resonance [1]. It was shown that the same constructive role can be played...

    Linear Instability Mechanisms of Noise-Induced Phase Transitions

    We review the role of linear instabilities on phase transition processes induced by external spatiotemporal noise. In particular, we present a detailed linear stability analysis of a standard Ginzburg-Landau m...

    Stochastic Effects in Physical Systems

    The study of the effects of noise and fluctuations is a well established subject in several different disciplines ranging from pure mathematics (stochastic processes) to physics (fluctuations) and electrical e...
