摘要

The well-known Parrondo's paradox: "losing+losing=winning" [G. P. Harmer and D. Abbott, Parrondo's paradox, Stat. Sci. 14 (2009) 206-213.] indicated that two games with negative gains can generate a new game with positive gain. By extending the Parrondo's philosophy into chaos research, it was shown that the periodic alteration of two chaotic dynamics results in an ordered dynamics, that is the phenomenon: "chaos+chaos=order" [J. Almeida, D. PeraltaSalas and M. Romera, Can two chaotic systems give rise to order, Physica D 200 124-132 (2005)]. This paper further extends these researches into fractal research by proposing that two disconnected Julia sets can originate a new connected Julia set via alternating order. This new parrondian paradoxical phenomenon can be stated in the Parrondo's terms as "disconnected+disconnected=connected".
