Abstract

Coherence resonance can be explained using differential entropy and mutual information. This theory explores the role of external noise in stabilising chaotic circuits such as the uni-junction transistor relaxation oscillator. The phenomenon of coherence resonance maximizes differential entropy and mutual information. Thus most natural chaotic oscillators show coherence resonance in the presence of an external driving noise.
