Abstract
We study the mobility of an overdamped particle in a periodic potential til ted by a constant force. The mobility exhibits a stochastic resonance in in homogeneous systems with space dependent friction coefficient. The result i ndicates that the presence of an oscillating external field is not essentia l for the observability of stochastic resonance, at least in an inhomogeneo us medium.
