We study the instabilities of a harmonic oscillator subject to additive and dichotomous multiplicative noise, focussing on the dependance of the instability threshold on the mass. For multiplicative noise in the damping, the instability…
A general class of stochastic gene expression models with self regulation is considered. One or more genes randomly switch between regulatory states, each having a different mRNA transcription rate. The gene or genes are self regulating…
We study a reaction model that presents stochastic resonance purely due to internal noise. This means that the only source of fluctuations comes from the discrete character of the reactants, and no more noises enter into the system. Our…

Random metastability occurs when an externally forced or noisy system possesses more than one state of apparent equilibrium. This work investigates a class of random dynamical systems, arising from perturbing a one-dimensional piecewise…
