Logical Chaotic Resonance in a Bistable System

In this work, we demonstrate a new chaotic signal-induced phenomenon that the output of a chaotic signal-driven bistable system can be consistently mapped to specific logic gate operation in an optimal window of chaotic signal intensity. We term this phenomenon logical chaotic resonance (LCR). Then, an intuitive interpretation for LCR phenomenon is given based on potential well map and mean first-passage time. Through LCR mechanism, the chaotic signal with proper intensity is used to obtain reliable logical gate in the bistable system. Besides, appropriately increasing the chaotic signal intensity can effectively improve the response speed of the bistable system to the change of input signal. Finally, the role of chaotic signal in enhancing the capacity of resisting disturbance of parameters is demonstrated.
