Abstract

Although stochastic resonance phenomena are ubiquitous across various complex systems, the influence mechanisms of higher-order interactions remain elusive. Here, we address this gap by investigating stochastic resonance in coupled phase oscillators with triadic interactions on ring networks that feature periodic modulation of the triadic coupling strength and additive noise. Our analysis reveals that higher-order interactions create fundamentally different resonance landscapes through time-varying potential wells generated by periodic modulation of triadic coupling, enabling novel noise-enhanced processing mechanisms. Additionally, weaker pairwise coupling amplifies resonance effects, while moderate network connectivity appears optimal compared to extensive connections. Our findings establish fundamental principles for network stochastic resonance and provide insights for enhanced signal processing in complex networks.
