A two-variable bistable system modeling the selection between competing options is considered in the presence of additive white noise, representing environmental or internal variability. It is shown that when the strengths of the noises acting on the evolution equations of the two variables are different a symmetry-breaking process takes place, whereby the state in which the excess variable is perturbed by the strongest noise becomes predominant.

This paper investigates a new asymmetric bistable model driven by correlated multiplicative colored noise and additive white noise. The mean first-passage time (MFPT) and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as the indexes of evaluating the model are researched. Based on the two-state theory and the adiabatic approximation theory, the expressions of MFPT and SNR have been obtained for the asymmetric bistable system driven by a periodic signal, correlated multiplicative colored noise and additive noise. Simulation results show that it is easier to generate stochastic resonance (SR) to adjust the intensity of correlation strength [Formula: see text]. Meanwhile, the decrease of asymmetric coefficient [Formula: see text] and the increase of noise intensity are beneficial to realize the transition between the two steady states in the system. At the same time, the twice SR phenomena can be observed by adjusting additive white noise and correlation strength. The influence of asymmetry of potential function on the MFPTs in two different directions is different.

Asymmetric Dichotomous Noise

The stochastic resonance in a bistable system subject to asymmetric dichotomous noise and multiplicative and additive white noise is investigated. By using the properties of the dichotomous noise, under the adiabatic approximation condition, the expression of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is obtained. It is found that the SNR is a non-monotonic function of the asymmetry of the dichotomous noise, and it varies non-monotonously with the intensities of the multiplicative and additive noise as well as with the system parameters. Moreover, the SNR depends on the correlation rate of the dichotomous noise.

Additive White Noise

The stochastic resonance (SR) for a stochastic bistable system driven by a static force and a periodic square-wave signal as well as by additive white noise is considered from the view of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). It is found that the SNR appears SR behavior when it is plotted as a function of the additive noise strength or as a function of the system parameters. Moreover, the influence of the static force is opposite to that of the amplitude of the stochastic potential.

This article explores the surface and substance of elite dress in the baroque period by unpacking printed texts and images that reveal their political and economic significance in the courts of Europe. It does so by considering the nature and sources of garments and fabrics, continuity and change in their production and consumption in Spain and France, and the shaping of the modern fashion system—a system in which changes in textiles and trimmings were promoted seasonally by the state, textile manufacturers, and the nascent fashion press (Le Mercure galant) from the late seventeenth century onward. It thus underlines the local and global networks involved in the production and consumption of dress.
