Scale-free topology-induced double resonance in networked two-state systems.

We study numerically the effect of a scale-free topology on the signal-to-noise ratio of networked two-state systems and find a double resonance phenomenon, i.e., a resonance on coupling strength and a stochastic resonance on noise strength. This finding suggests an alternative approach of self-tuning, i.e., tuning from the scale-free topology, instead of the self-tuning of potential. A heuristic theory through a starlike network is presented to explain the double resonance.
