Stochastic resonance in a thermokinetic reaction system
Abstract
We present numerical simulations of the counterintuitive effect of stochastic resonance in a model of a thermokinetic chemical oscillator. Small periodic perturbations are amplified by stochastic or deterministically chaotic parameter fluctuations giving way to large temperature oscillations. Stochastic resonance is characterized by various means, among them Fourier transforms, probability distribution functions and interspike histograms.
