Abstrakt: Overdamped motion of Brownian particles in a 1D periodic system with a simple symmetric sawtooth potential subjected to both unbiased thermal noise and spatially nonhomogeneous three-level colored noise is considered analytically. Upon application of a tilting force the particles exhibit anomalous transport properties, namely, absolute negative mobility, negative differential mobility, and the phenomenon of hypersensitive differential response. It is established that the mobility (differential mobility included) depends nonmonotonically on the parameters (switching rate, amplitude, and temperature) of nonequilibrium and thermal noises. The necessary conditions for various anomalous transport properties are found.
