Abstract
We investigate the response of a linear chain of diffusively coupled d iode resonators under the influence of thermal noise. We also examine the connection between spatiotemporal stochastic resonance and the pre sence of kink-antikink pairs in the array. The interplay of nucleation rates and kink speeds is briefly addressed. The experimental results are supplemented with simulations on a coupled map lattice. We further more present analytical results for the synchronization and signal pro cessing properties of a Phi(4) field theory and explore the effects of various forms of nonlinear coupling.
