In this paper, the stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon in a time-delayed tumor cell growth system subjected to a multiplicative periodic signal, the multiplicative and additive noise is investigated. By applying the small time-delay method and two-state theory, the expressions of the mean first-passage time (MFPT) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are obtained, then, the impacts of time delay, noise intensities and system parameters on the MFPT and SNR are discussed. Simulation results show that the multiplicative and additive noise always weaken the SR effect; while time delay plays a key role in motivating the SR phenomenon when noise intensities take a small value, it will restrain SR phenomenon when noise intensities take a large value; the cycle radiation amplitude always plays a positive role in stimulating the SR phenomenon, while, system parameters play different roles in motivating or suppressing SR under the different conditions of noise intensities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
