Frequency-dependent stochastic resonance in globally coupled systems

A model of globally coupled bistable systems consisting of two kinds of sites, subject to a periodic driving and spatially uncorrelated stochastic force, is investigated. In the large system size limit, the problem of large number of coupled Langevin equations can be reduced to a simple problem of two coupled ordinary differential equations. Considering the finite size effect, we can derive two coupled Langevin equations. All the above three kinds of equations are numerically computed and compared with each other. Frequency-dependent stochastic resonance is found, and the reduced equations can represent the high-dimensional system when the system size is large.
