| Traffic scientists, specialists in nonlinear systems, and animal behaviorists have cooperated in a study of one of the natural geniuses of transportation engineering: the black garden ant of Europe. The relationships between Fourier expansions in nonlinear systems with the orthonormal sets are obtained as characteristics functions of Sturm-Liouville systems. He bases this idea on the counterintuitive but well-established phenomenon of stochastic resonance, in which the addition of noise sometimes improves the ability of nonlinear systems to respond to previously undetectable signals. |
