Numerical Detection of Stochastic to Deterministic Transition

Abstract

We present the numerical estimation of noise parameter induced in the dynamics of the variables by random particle interactions involved in the stochastic chemical oscillator and use it as order parameter to detect the transition from stochastic to deterministic regime. In stochastic regime, this noise parameter is found to be increased as system size decreases, whereas in deterministic regime it remains constant to minimum value as system size increases. This let the transition from fluctuating to fixed limit cycle oscillation as the system goes from stochastic to deterministic transition. We also numerically estimated the strength of the noise parameter involved both in chemical Langevin equation and Master equation formalisms and found that strength of this parameter is much smaller in the former than the latter.
