Abstract

The fundamental phenomenon of synchronization occurs in non-linear self-sustained oscillators subjected to a periodic force or coupled with each other. This phenomenon manifests itself in locking or suppressing of the natural frequency of the oscillator by periodic force. In this paper we discuss surprising synchronization-like phenomena in stochastic bistable systems which have no natural frequency at all. Stochastic bistable system possesses a noise-controlled mean switching frequency between metastable states being an analogy of natural frequency. The stochastic synchronization reveals locking of the mean switching frequency by external periodic force. The same phenomenon can be observed in coupled stochastic bistable systems.
