We introduce a software generator for a class of emph{colored} (self-correlated) and emph{non-Gaussian} noise, whose statistics and spectrum depend upon only two parameters, $q$ and $tau$. Inspired by Tsallis nonextensive formulation of statistical physics, this so-called $q$-distribution is a handy source of self-correlated noise for a large variety of applications. The $q$-noise---which tends smoothly for $q=1$ to Ornstein--Uhlenbeck noise with autocorrelation $tau$---is generated via a stochastic differential equation, using the Heun method (a second order Runge--Kutta type integration scheme). The algorithm is implemented as a stand-alone library in texttt{c++}, available as open source in the texttt{Github} repository. The noises statistics can be chosen at will, by varying only parameter $q$: it has compact support for $q<1$ (sub-Gaussian regime) and finite variance up to $q=5/3$ (supra-Gaussian regime). Once $q$ has been fixed, the noises autocorrelation can be tuned up independently by means of parameter $tau$. This software provides a tool for modeling a large variety of real-world noise types, and is suitable to study the effects of correlation and deviations from the normal distribution in systems of stochastic differential equations which may be relevant for a wide variety of technological applications, as well as for the understanding of situations of biological interest. Applications illustrating how the noise statistics affects the response of a variety of nonlinear systems are briefly discussed. In many of these examples, the systems response turns out to be optimal for some $q eq1$.

The directional transport of finite size self-propelled Brownian particles confined in a 2D zigzag channel with colored noise is investigated. The noises(noise parallel to x-axis and y-axis), the asymmetry parameter {Delta}k, the ratio f(ratio of the particle radius and the bottleneck half width), the selfpropelled speed v0 have joint effect on the particles. The average velocity of self-propelled particles is significantly different from passive particles. The average velocity exhibits complicated behavior with increasing self-propelled speed v0
For a wide class of stochastic athermal systems, we derive Langevin-like equations driven by non-Gaussian noise, starting from master equations and developing a new asymptotic expansion. We found an explicit condition whereby the non-Gaussian properties of the athermal noise become dominant for tracer particles associated with both thermal and athermal environments. Furthermore, we derive an inverse formula to infer microscopic properties of the athermal bath from the statistics of the tracer particle. We apply our formulation to a granular motor under viscous friction, and analytically obtain the angular velocity distribution function. Our theory demonstrates that the non-Gaussian Langevin equation is the minimal model of athermal systems.
We investigate the dynamics of single microparticles immersed in water that are driven out of equilibrium in the presence of an additional external colored noise. As a case study, we trap a single polystyrene particle in water with optical tweezers and apply an external electric field with flat spectrum but a finite bandwidth of the order of kHz. The intensity of the external noise controls the amplitude of the fluctuations of the position of the particle, and therefore of its effective temperature. Here we show, in two different nonequilibrium experiments, that the fluctuations of the work done on the particle obey Crooks fluctuation theorem at the equilibrium effective temperature, given that the sampling frequency and the noise cutoff frequency are properly chosen. Our experimental setup can be therefore used to improve the design of microscopic motors towards fast and efficient devices, thus extending the frontiers of nano machinery.
The survival of natural populations may be greatly affected by environmental conditions that vary in space and time. We look at a population residing in two locations (patches) coupled by migration, in which the local conditions fluctuate in time. We report on two findings. First, we find that unlike rare events in many other systems, here the histories leading to a rare extinction event are not dominated by a single path. We develop the appropriate framework, which turns out to be a hybrid of the standard saddle-point method, and the Donsker-Varadhan formalism which treats rare events of atypical averages over a long time. It provides a detailed description of the statistics of histories leading to the rare event. The framework applies to rare events in a broad class of systems driven by non-Gaussian noise. Secondly, applying this framework to the population-dynamics model, we find a novel phase transition in its extinction behavior. Strikingly, a patch which is a sink (where individuals die more than are born), can nonetheless reduce the probability of extinction, even if it normally lowers the populations size and growth rate.
We asymptotically derive a non-linear Langevin-like equation with non-Gaussian white noise for a wide class of stochastic systems associated with multiple stochastic environments, by developing the expansion method in our previous paper [K. Kanazawa et al., arXiv: 1407.5267 (2014)]. We further obtain a full-order asymptotic formula of the steady distribution function in terms of a large friction coefficient for a non-Gaussian Langevin equation with an arbitrary non-linear frictional force. The first-order truncation of our formula leads to the independent-kick model and the higher-order correction terms directly correspond to the multiple-kicks effect during relaxation. We introduce a diagrammatic representation to illustrate the physical meaning of the high-order correction terms. As a demonstration, we apply our formula to a granular motor under Coulombic friction and get good agreement with our numerical simulations.
