Abstract
In this paper, the dynamical behavior of the FitzHugh–Nagumo (FHN) neural system with time delay driven by Lévy noise is studied from two aspects: the mean first-passage time (MFPT) and the probability density function (PDF) of the first-passage time (FPT). Using the Janicki–Weron algorithm to generate the Lévy noise, and through the order-4 Runge–Kutta algorithm to simulate the FHN system response, the time that the system needs from one stable state to the other one is tracked in the process. Using the MATLAB software to simulate the process above 20,000 times and recording the PFTs, the PDF of the FPT and the MFPT is obtained. Finally, the effects of the Lévy noise and time-delay on the FPT are discussed. It is found that the increase of both time-delay feedback intensity and Lévy noise intensity can promote the transition of the particle from the resting state to the excited state. However, the two parameters produce the opposite effects in the other direction.
