We investigate a simple system of two coupled discrete stochastic resonators in the following two cases, to clarify the role of coupling. Case A: an oscillating force is applied to the whole system. Case B: an oscillating force is applied to one of the coupled resonators. We have obtained...

A stochastic resonator constructed of three discrete states is proposed to explain microscopically why one applies the Arrhenius-type relaxation time to the time scale of thermal relaxation of each two-state kinetic Ising spin in previous papers which have studied stochastic resonance using...
