Abstract

Parrondo paradox is the counter-intuitive phenomenon where two losing games can be combined to win or two winning games can be combined to lose. In this paper, we consider an ensemble of players, one of whom is chosen randomly to play game A' or game B. In game A', the randomly chosen player transfers one unit of his capital to another randomly selected player. In game B, the player plays the history-dependent Parrondo game in which the winning probability of the present trial depends on the results of the last two trials in the past. We show that Parrondo paradox exists in this redistribution model of the history-dependent Parrondo game.

파론도 역설은 두 개의 지는 게임이 결합하여 이기게 되거나, 두 개의 이기는 게임이 결합하여 지게 되는 현상을 말한다. 본 논문에서는 여러 명으로 구성된 집단에서 임의로 한 명을 선택하여 본인의 과거 실적에 의해 승패 확률이 정해지는 과거의존 파론도 게임을 실시하거나 또는 단순히 상금을 임의로 선택한 또 다른 사람에게 전달만 하는 게임을 진행하는 경우를 살펴본다. 각 게임은 지거나 공정한 게임인 반면에 두 게임을 임의로 결합한 혼합게임은 이기게 되는 파론도 효과가 존재함을 확인한다. 또한 각 게임은 이기거나 공정한 게임인데 임의로 결합한 혼합게임은 지게 되는 역 파론도 효과가 존재하는 확률 모수의 범위도 완성한다.
