Interplay of noise induced stability and stochastic resetting

Abstract

Stochastic resetting and noise-enhanced stability are two phenomena which can affect the lifetime and relaxation of nonequilibrium states. They can be considered as measures of controlling the efficiency of the completion process when a stochastic system has to reach a desired state. Here, we study interaction of random (Poissonian) resetting and stochastic dynamics in unstable potentials. Unlike noise-induced stability which increases the relaxation time, the stochastic resetting may eliminate winding trajectories contributing to the lifetime and accelerate the escape kinetics from unstable states. In the paper we present a framework to analyze compromises between the two contrasting phenomena in a noise-driven kinetics subject to random restarts.
