Abstract: 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 information-processing systems.
