Investigation of Chaotic Switching Strategies in Parrondo’s Games
نویسندگان
چکیده
An analysis of Parrondo’s games with different chaotic switching strategies is carried out. We generalize a fair way to compare between different switching strategies. The performance of Parrondo’s games with chaotic switching strategies is compared to random and periodic switching strategies. The rate of winning of Parrondo’s games with chaotic switching strategies depends on coefficient(s) defining the chaotic generator, initial conditions of the chaotic sequence and the proportion of Game A played. Maximum rate of winning can be obtained with all the above mentioned factors properly set, and this occurs when chaotic switching strategy approaches periodic-like behavior.

Discrete-time ratchets, the Fokker-Planck equation and Parrondo’s paradox
Parrondo’s games manifest the apparent paradox where losing strategies can be combined to win and have generated significant multidisciplinary interest in the literature. Here we review two recent approaches, based on the Fokker-Planck equation, that rigorously establish the connection between Parrondo’s games and a physical model known as the flashing Brownian ratchet. This gives rise to a new...
متن کاملAsymmetry and Disorder: a Decade of Parrondo’s Paradox
In 1996, Parrondo’s games were first constructed using a simple coin tossing scenario, demonstrating the paradoxical situation where individually losing games combine to win. Parrondo’s principle has become paradigmatic for situations where losing strategies or deleterious effects can combine to win. Intriguingly, there are deep connections between the Parrondo effect and a range of physical ph...
متن کاملInefficiency of voting in Parrondo games
We study a modification of the so-called Parrondo’s paradox where a large number of individuals choose the game they want to play by voting. We show that it can be better for the players to vote randomly than to vote according to their own benefit in one turn. The former yields a winning tendency while the latter results in steady losses. An explanation of this behaviour is given by noting that...
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 کاملThe Physical Basis for Parrondo’s Games
Several authors [1–4] have implied that the original inspiration for Parrondo’s games was a physical system called a “flashing Brownian ratchet [5, 6]” The relationship seems to be intuitively clear but, surprisingly, has not yet been established with rigor. The dynamics of a flashing Brownian ratchet can be described using a partial differential equation called the Fokker-Planck equation [7], ...
