An array of overdamped bistable oscillators with delay was studied numerically. Each site of the array is coupled directionally with the addition of white Gaussian noise. On the other hand, we compared the results with an array of coupled chain of experimental devices, also fed with Gaussian...

We have found, by varying two parameters, several stationary trajectories in a system consisting in many elastically coupled particles that are placed in a periodic ratchet potential on a ring. The system is assumed to be over-damped and driven by an external potential that is periodic both in...

In this paper we discuss the dynamics and transport properties of a massive particle in a ratchet type potential immersed in a dissipative environment. The directional currents and characteristics of the motion are studied as the specific frictional coefficient varies, finding that the...

We analyze the phase response of a system shaped as a ring of overdamped bistable and noisy oscillators coupled directionally. This device, which operates in the regime of stochastic resonance, may act as a short-term memory device. In the present work we show that in this regime the system...

Recurrence plot is a quite easy tool to be used in time-series analysis, in particular for measuring unstable periodic orbits embedded in a chaotic dynamical system. Recurrence quantified analysis (RQA) is an advanced tool that allows the study of intrinsic complexity of a dynamical system with...

We study numerically the phase behaviour in two different arrays of overdamped bistable oscillators coupled unidirectionally, each of them fed by an external source of Gaussian white noise, and driven by an external periodic force.

We analyze a system consisting in many elastically coupled particles that are placed in a periodic ratchet potential on a ring. The system is assumed to be overdamped and driven by an external potential that is periodic both in space and time. The symmetries of the model allow to study the...

We discuss the connections between Brownian ratchets (BR) and stochastic resonance (SR). We consider a periodic potential energy landscape with no left–right symmetry that is driven by an external force which can be derived from a potential that is periodic both in time and space. We show that...
