Paradoxical survival: examining the Parrondo effect across biology

KH Cheong, JM Koh, MC Jones - BioEssays, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Parrondo's paradox, in which losing strategies can be combined to produce winning
outcomes, has received much attention in mathematics and the physical sciences; a …

Asymmetry and disorder: A decade of Parrondo's paradox

D Abbott - Fluctuation and Noise Letters, 2010 - World Scientific
In 1996, Parrondo's games were first constructed using a simple coin tossing scenario,
