Shuffling with ordered cards
We consider a problem of shuffling a deck of cards with ordered labels. Namely we split the deck of N = kq cards (where t ≥ 1 is maximal) into k equally sized stacks and then take the top card off of each stack and sort them by the order of their labels and add them to the shuffled stack. We show how to find stacks of cards invariant and periodic under the shuffling. We also show when gcd(q, k)...
متن کاملExploring the Geometric Model of Riffle Shuffling
Card shuffling is an interesting topic to explore because of its complexity. Initially, card shuffling seems simple because it is ubitquitous. The majority of people know how to shuffle a deck of cards but few consider the math behind it. However, when it comes to analyzing the elements of card shuffling, it incorporates linear algebra, group theory, probability theory, and Markov Chains. When ...
متن کاملA Better Way to Deal the Cards
Most of the work on card shuffling assumes that all the cards in a deck are distinct, and that in a well-shuffled deck all orderings need to be equally likely. We consider the case of decks with repeated cards and decks which are dealt into hands, as in bridge and poker. We derive asymptotic formulas for the randomness of the resulting games. Results include the influence of where a poker deck ...
متن کاملHow Many Shuffles to Mix a Deck?
A simple probabilistic model is devised to determine the number of shuffles required for the bottom card of a deck to become uniformly distributed with a specified tolerance. This number is a lower bound on the number of shuffles needed for the entire deck to be randomly mixed. We wish to find a lower bound on the number of riffle shuffles required to mix a deck of k cards. In such a shuffle, t...
متن کاملAlgorithmic Information Theory and Foundations of Probability
The question how and why mathematical probability theory can be applied to the “real world” has been debated for centuries. We try to survey the role of algorithmic information theory (Kolmogorov complexity) in this debate. 1 Probability theory paradox One often describes the natural sciences framework as follows: a hypothesis is used to predict something, and the prediction is then checked aga...
