Noise-free stochastic resonance in a chaotic kicked spin model at the edge of the attractor merging crisis is considered. The output signal reflects the occurrence of crisis-induced jumps between the two parts of the attractor. As the control parameter-the amplitude of the magnetic field pulses-is varied, the signal-to-noise ratio shows plateaus and multiple maxima, thus stochastic multiresonance is observed. It is shown that the multiresonance occurs due to a fractal structure of the precritical attractors and their basins. In the adiabatic approximation theoretical expression for the signal-to-noise ratio is derived, based on the theory of oscillations in average crisis-induced transient lifetimes. Numerical and theoretical results agree quantitatively just above the threshold for crisis and qualitatively in a wide range of the control parameter.
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.
