Stochastic Multi-Resonance in a Linear System Driven by Multiplicative Polynomial Dichotomous Noise

We investigate stochastic resonance in a linear system subjected to multiplicative noise that is a polynomial function of colored noise. Using the stochastic averaging method, the analytical expression of the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is derived. Theoretical analysis and numerical results show that the output SNR is a non-monotonic function of both the noise intensity and the correlation rate. Moreover, the phenomoenon of stochastic multi-resonance (SMR) is found, which is not observed in conventional linear systems driven by multiplicative noise with only a linear term.
