Stochastic resonance and Brownian ratchets
We discuss the connections between Brownian ratchets (BR) and stochastic resonance (SR). We consider a periodic potential energy landscape with no left-right symmetry that is driven by an external force which can be derived from a potential that is periodic both in time and space. We show that this...
