SYNCHRONOUS COOPERATIVE PARRONDO'S GAMES [PDF]

open access: yesFluctuation and Noise Letters, 2003
Inspired by asynchronous cooperative Parrondo's games we introduce two new types of games in which all players simultaneously play game A or game B or a combination of these two games. These two types of games differ in the way a combination of games A and B is played.
