Influence of the Barrier Shape on Resonant Activation
Bartlomiej Dybiec, Ewa Gudowska-Nowak
Abstract
The escape of a Brownian particle over a dichotomously fluctuating barrier is investigated for various shapes of the barrier. The problem of resonant activation is revisited with the attention on the effect of the barrier shape on optimal value of the mean escape time in the system. The characteristic features of resonant behavior are analyzed for barriers switching either between different heights, or "on" and "off" positions. PACS number(s): 05.10-a, 02.50.-r, 82.20.-wj.
