Abstract

We report an exact result for the calculation of the probability distribution of the Bernoulli-Malthus-Verhulst model driven by a multiplicative colored noise. We study the conditions under which the probability distribution of the Malthus-Verhulst model can exhibit a transition from a unimodal to a bimodal distribution depending on the value of a critical parameter. Also we show that the mean value of x(t) in the latter model always approaches asymptotically the value 1. © 2007 The American Physical Society.
