Bistability driven by dichotomous noise

We consider mean-first-passage times and transition rates in bistable systems driven by dichotomous colored noise. We carry out an asymptotic expansion for short correlation times ¿c of the colored noise and find results that differ from those reported earlier. In particular, to retain corrections t...

Resumo:We consider mean-first-passage times and transition rates in bistable systems driven by dichotomous colored noise. We carry out an asymptotic expansion for short correlation times ¿c of the colored noise and find results that differ from those reported earlier. In particular, to retain corrections to O(¿c) we find that it is necessary to retain up to four derivatives of the potential function. We compare our asymptotic results to existing ones and also to exact ones obtained from numerical integration.
