On the derivation of amplitude equations for nonlinear oscillators subject to arbitrary forcing
R. Toral, C. Mayol, C. Mirasso
By using a generalization of the multiple scales technique we develop a method to derive amplitude equations for zero--dimensional forced systems. The method allows to consider eit…
System size coherence resonance
Raul Toral, Claudio Mirasso, James D. Gunton
We show the existence of a system size coherence resonance effect for an ensemble of globally coupled excitable systems. Namely, we demonstrate numerically that the regularity in t…
Capital Redistribution Brings Wealth by Parrondo's Paradox
Raul Toral
We present new versions of the Parrondo's paradox by which a losing game can be turned into winning by including a mechanism that allows redistribution of the capital amongst an en…
Cooperative Parrondo's Games
R. Toral
We introduce a new family of Parrondo's games of alternating losing strategies in order to get a winning result. In our version of the games we consider an ensemble of players and…
An entropy-driven noise-induced phase transition
M. Ibanes, J. Garcia-Ojalvo, R. Toral +1
We introduce a class of exactly solvable models which exhibit an ordering noise-induced phase transition driven by an entropic mechanism. In contrast with previous studies, order d…
Stochastic Effects in Physical Systems
Maxi San Miguel, Raul Toral
A tutorial review is given of some developments and applications of stochastic processes from the point of view of the practicioner physicist. The index is the following: 1.- Intro…
