Abstract
We consider a system of globally coupled bistable systems under the influence of noise and periodic modulations. The hopping process between the stable states is described by a nonlinear master equation. We observe an unusually large amplification of the periodic modulations for certain values of the noise strength due to collective dynamics of the coupled bistable elements.Keywords
