Abstract
The effect of light noise on a Neurospora circadian clock system in the steady states is investigated. It is found that the circadian oscillations could be induced by light noise, leading to various resonance phenomena including internal signal stochastic resonance (ISSR) and ISSR without tuning in the system. The strength of ISSR could be significantly reinforced with the decrease of the distance of the control parameter to the Hopf bifurcation point of the system. The fundamental frequency of noise-induced circadian oscillations almost does not change with the increment of light noise intensity, which implies that the Neurospora system could sustain intrinsic circadian rhythms. In addition, the ISSR and ISSR without tuning could be both amplified, suppressed or destroyed by tuning the frequency or amplitude of external signal.
