Revisiting Parrondo’s Paradox for the Logistic Family
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to investigate the existence of Parrondo’s paradox for the logistic family fa(x) = ax(1−x), x ∈ [0, 1], when the parameter value a ranges over the interval [1, 4]. We find that a paradox of type “order + order = chaos” arises for both physically observable and topological chaos, while a “chaos + chaos = order” paradox can be only detected for the case of physically observable chaos. In addition, we raise the question of whether the paradox “chaos + chaos = order” can appear in the topological sense or whether, as our computations seem to show, it is impossible for the logistic family.

Second Parrondo's Paradox in Scale Free Networks
Parrondo’s paradox occurs in sequences of games in which a winning expectation value of a payoff may be obtained by playing two 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 the same paradoxical property have been introduced [5]; history dependence, one dimensional line, two dimensional...

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 with paradoxical property have been introduced. In this paper, I examine whether Parrondo’s paradox occurs or not in scale free networks. Two model...
متن کاملDevelopments in Parrondo’s Paradox
Parrondo’s paradox is the well-known counterintuitive situation where individually losing strategies or deleterious effects can combine to win. In 1996, Parrondo’s games were devised illustrating this effect for the first time in a simple coin tossing scenario. It turns out that, by analogy, Parrondo’s original games are a discrete-time, discrete-space version of a flashing Brownian ratchet—thi...
متن کاملLimit theorems for Parrondo’s paradox
That there exist two losing games that can be combined, either by random mixture or by nonrandom alternation, to form a winning game is known as Parrondo’s paradox. We establish a strong law of large numbers and a central limit theorem for the Parrondo player’s sequence of profits, both in a one-parameter family of capital-dependent games and in a two-parameter family of history-dependent games...
متن کاملOn Parrondo’s Paradox: How to Construct Unfair Games by Composing Fair Games
We construct games of chance from simpler games of chance. We show that it may happen that the simpler games of chance are fair or unfavourable to a player and yet the new combined game is favourable—this is a counter-intuitive phenomenon known as Parrondo’s paradox. We observe that all of the games in question are random walks in periodic environments (RWPE) when viewed on the proper time scal...
