Resonance and limit cycle in a noise driven Lorenz model
arXiv:0808.3956
Abstract
The effect of an external noise on the Lorenz model is investigated near the onset of convection and near the Hopf bifurcation. We show the existence of a diverging time scale near the onset of convection and a resonance near the Hopf bifurcation. Our calculation provides an understanding of the noise induced stabilization of the limit cycle that had been observed numerically.
