Thermally activated switching in the presence of non-Gaussian noise
arXiv:0808.3497 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.78.051122
Abstract
We study the effect of a non-Gaussian noise on interstate switching activated primarily by Gaussian noise. Even weak non-Gaussian noise can strongly change the switching rate. The effect is determined by all moments of the noise distribution. The explicit analytical results are compared with the results of simulations for an overdamped system driven by white Gaussian noise and a Poisson noise. Switching induced by a purely Poisson noise is also discussed.
