ABSTRACT

Noise is known to disrupt a preferred act or motion. Yet, noise and broken symmetry in asymmetric potential, together, can make a directed motion possible, in fact essential in some cases. In Biology, in order to understand the motions of molecular motors in cells ratchets are imagined as useful models. Besides, there are optical ratchets and quantum ratchets considered in order to understand corresponding transport phenomena in physics. The discretized actions of ratchets can be well understood in terms of probabilistic gambling games which are of immense interest in Control theory – a powerful tool in physics, engineering, economics, biology and social sciences.
