Noise induced aperiodic rotations of particles trapped by a non-conservative force
Abstract
We describe a mechanism whereby random noise can play a constructive role in the manifestation of a pattern, aperiodic rotations, that would otherwise be damped by internal dynamics. The mechanism is described physically in a theoretical model of overdamped particle motion in two dimensions with symmetric damping and a non-conservative force field driven by noise. Cyclic motion only occurs as a result of stochastic noise in this system. However, the persistence of the cyclic motion is quantified by parameters associated with the non-conservative forcing. Unlike stochastic resonance or coherence resonance, where noise can play a constructive role in amplifying a signal that is otherwise below the threshold for detection, in the mechanism considered here, the signal that is detected does not exist without the noise. Moreover, the system described here is a linear system.
