Conjecture on limit cycles for adjacent even cycle lengths
Conjecture on limit cycles for adjacent even cycle lengths
Let be even. Let and be the game parameters, let and be the quantities defined for the stationary dynamics, and let , , , , and denote the functions whose zero curves partition the parameter plane. For a finite word , let denote the corresponding set of initial states, and let , , and denote the indicated limit cycles. Adjacent-cycle conjecture. Let be even. The curve lies below and above , with positive above and negative below the curve. If and , there are precisely two limit cycles, of forms and , together with an unstable equilibrium. If and , there is a unique asymptotically stable limit cycle of form , together with an unstable equilibrium. If and , there are precisely two limit cycles, of forms and , together with an unstable equilibrium. If and , there is a unique asymptotically stable limit cycle of form , together with an unstable equilibrium. If and , there is a unique asymptotically stable limit cycle of form , together with an unstable equilibrium. In each case, the corresponding decomposition of in the conjecture is asserted, and every initial state in eventually enters . These claims extend the proposed classification of greedy collective Parrondo dynamics beyond the regions covered by the preceding theorems; the supplied text presents them as conjectural rather than proved.
