Abstract: A model of globally coupled bistable systems consisting of two kinds of sites, subject to periodic driving and spatially uncorrelated stochastic force, is investigated. The extended system models the competing process of activators and suppressers. Analytical computations for linear response of the system to the external periodic forcing is carried out. Noise-induced Hopf bifurcation is revealed, and stochastic resonance, sensitively depending on the frequency of the external forcing, is predicted under the Hopf bifurcation condition. Numerical simulations agree with the analytical predictions satisfactorily.
