✦ Synopsis


We explore the collective response of an uncoupled parallel array of saturating dynamical subsystems to a noisy periodic or random signal. Numerical simulation results show that a parallel array of nonlinear saturating subsystems can enhance the signal transmission via tuning the internal noise intensity and increasing the array size. The input-output gain larger than unity, described by the signal-to-noise ratio for a periodic signal or the correlation coefficient for a random signal, is observed in a form of array stochastic resonance. This stochastic resonance phenomenon can be useful for practical informationprocessing systems.
