Drift by Dichotomous Markov Noise

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We derive explicit results for the asymptotic probability density and drift velocity in systems driven by dichotomous Markov noise, including the situation in which the asymptotic dynamics crosses {\em unstable} fixed points. The results are illustrated on the problem of the rocking ratchet.
