Beyond Parrondo's Paradox
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Parrondo's paradox is a counterintuitive phenomenon where individually-losing strategies can be combined in producing a winning expectation. In this paper, the issues surrounding the Parrondo's paradox are investigated. The focus is lying on testifying whether the same paradoxical effect can be reproduced by using a simple capital dependent game. The paradoxical effect generated by the Parrondo's paradox can be explained by placing all the parameters in one probability space. Based on this framework, it is able to generate other possible paradoxical effects by manipulating the parameters in the probability space.

Does Parrondo Paradox occur in Scale Free Networks? -A simple Consideration-
Parrondo's paradox occurs in sequences of games in which a winning expectation may be obtained by playing the games in a random order, even though each game in the sequence may be lost when played individually. Several variations of Parrondo's games apparently with paradoxical property have been introduced; history dependence, one dimensional line, two dimensional lattice and so on. In this art...
متن کاملParrondo’s Games Based on Complex Networks and the Paradoxical Effect
Parrondo's games were first constructed using a simple tossing scenario, which demonstrates the following paradoxical situation: in sequences of games, a winning expectation may be obtained by playing the games in a random order, although each game (game A or game B) in the sequence may result in losing when played individually. The available Parrondo's games based on the spatial niche (the nei...
متن کاملImplementing Parrondo’s paradox with two-coin quantum walks
Parrondo's paradox is ubiquitous in games, ratchets and random walks. The apparent paradox, devised by J. M. R. Parrondo, that two losing games A and B can produce a winning outcome has been adapted in many physical and biological systems to explain their working. However, proposals on demonstrating Parrondo's paradox using quantum walks failed for a large number of steps. In this work, we show...
متن کاملEffects of behavioral patterns and network topology structures on Parrondo’s paradox
A multi-agent Parrondo's model based on complex networks is used in the current study. For Parrondo's game A, the individual interaction can be categorized into five types of behavioral patterns: the Matthew effect, harmony, cooperation, poor-competition-rich-cooperation and a random mode. The parameter space of Parrondo's paradox pertaining to each behavioral pattern, and the gradual change of...
متن کاملInformation Entropy and Parrondo's Discrete-Time Ratchet
Parrondo's paradox involves two losing games of chance. The paradox is that a winning situation is produced when the two games are played in a random sequence in accordance with fixed probabilities. In this paper we investigate the relationship between these parameters and the entropy rates of the games.
