Parrondo-like behavior in continuous-time random walks with memory.
نویسنده
چکیده
The continuous-time random walk (CTRW) formalism can be adapted to encompass stochastic processes with memory. In this paper we will show how the random combination of two different unbiased CTRWs can give rise to a process with clear drift, if one of them is a CTRW with memory. If one identifies the other one as noise, the effect can be thought of as a kind of stochastic resonance. The ultimate origin of this phenomenon is the same as that of the Parrondo paradox in game theory.

Extremal behavior of a coupled continuous time random walk
Coupled continuous time random walks (CTRW) model normal and anomalous diffusion of random walkers by taking the sum of random jump lengths dependent on the random waiting times immediately preceding each jump. They are used to simulate diffusion-like processes in econophysics such as stock market fluctuations, where jumps represent financial market microstructure like log-returns. In this and ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Distributions of the Continuous - TimeRandom
We provide a systematic analysis of the possible asymptotic distributions of one-dimensional continuous-time random walks (CTRWs) by applying the limit theorems of probability theory. Biased and unbiased walks of coupled and decoupled memory are considered. In contrast to previous works concerning decoupled memory and L evy walks, we deal also with arbitrary coupled memory and with jump densiti...
متن کاملThe Dynamical Discrete Web
The dynamical discrete web (DDW), introduced in recent work of Howitt and Warren, is a system of coalescing simple symmetric one-dimensional random walks which evolve in an extra continuous dynamical time parameter s. The evolution is by independent updating of the underlying Bernoulli variables indexed by discrete space-time that define the discrete web at any fixed s. In this paper, we study ...
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 کاملSemi-Markov Random Walks and Universality in Ising-like Chains
We exhibit a one to one correspondence between some universal probabilistic properties of the ordering coordinate of one-dimensional Ising-like models and a class of continuous time random walks. This correspondence provides an new qualitative picture of the properties of the ordering coordinate of the Ising model.
