Genesis of Noise-Induced Multimodal Chaotic Oscillations in Enzyme Kinetics: Stochastic Bifurcations and Sensitivity Analysis

In this paper, by the example of 3D model of enzyme reaction, we study mechanisms of noise-induced generation of complex multimodal chaotic oscillations in the monostability zone where only simple deterministic cycles are observed. In such a generation, a constructive role of deterministic toroidal transients is revealed. We perform a statistical analysis of these phenomena and localize the intensity range of the noise that causes stochastic [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-bifurcations connected with transitions to chaos and qualitative changes in the probability density. Constructive possibilities of the stochastic sensitivity function technique in the analytical study of these phenomena are demonstrated.
