Query: Enhancing noise-induced switching times in systems with distributed
  delays   The paper addresses the problem of calculating the noise-induced switching
rates in systems with delay-distributed kernels and Gaussian noise. A general
variational formulation for the switching rate is derived for any distribution
kernel, and the obtained equations of motion and boundary conditions represent
the most probable, or optimal, path, which maximizes the probability of escape.
Explicit analytical results for the switching rates for small mean time delays
are obtained for the uniform and bi-modal (or two-peak) distributions. They
suggest that increasing the width of the distribution leads to an increase in
the switching times even for longer values of mean time delays for both
examples of the distribution kernel, and the increase is higher in the case of
the two-peak distribution. Analytical predictions are compared to the direct
numerical simulations, and show excellent agreement between theory and
numerical experiment.
