We then derive the analytical expression for the average velocity, mobility, and diffusion rate. The bistable kinetics and escape rate from a metastable state in the overdamped region are studied consequently. By numerical simulation we then demonstrate that our analytical escape rate is in good agreement with that of the numerical result.application/pdfenIn Copyrightbrownian motiondiffusionfluctuation-induced transportmolecular motorsstochastic dynamicsthermal ratchetsexternal noisecolored-noisesystem drivenheatbathmotionmodelsArticle - Refereedhttp://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/jmp/49/11/10.1063/1.3013122https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3013122
