To appear in Modern Problems in Statistical Physics", "categories": [ "cond-mat.stat-mech" ], "abstract": "We study the role of multiplicative colored noise for different values of the correlation time $\\tau_c$ in the dynamics of two competing species, described by generalized Lotka-Volterra equations. The multiplicative colored noise models the interaction between the species and the environment. The interaction parameter between the species is a random process which obeys a stochastic differential equation with a generalized bistable potential in the presence of a periodic driving term, which accounts for the environment temperature variation. The bistable potential is useful to describe the coexistence and exclusion dynamical regimes of the ecosystem. Noise-induced periodic oscillations of the species concentrations and stochastic resonance phenomenon appear due to the presence of the multiplicative noise. We find that for low values of the correlation time $\\tau_c$ the response of the system coincides with that obtained with multiplicative white noise. For higher values of $\\tau_c$ the coherent response of the system and the maximum of the signal-to-noise ratio, signature of the stochastic resonance phenomenon, are shifted towards higher values of the noise intensity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-10-24T12:57:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "competing species", "correlation time", "stochastic resonance phenomenon appear", "higher values", "multiplicative colored noise" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003cond.mat.10587V" } } }
