The Problem of Shuffle in Mahjong: Identification with the Disordered System

Authors: Yoshiki Ueoka

I studied mechanism of shuffle in mahjong, which is a kind of table game. This research is the first research that focuses on the physical aspect, not the victory or defeat of mahjong. In physics terms, it is a study of how disordered systems can be created. I considered whether there is a difference between a completely random shuffle with random numbers and a shuffle with human hands. I implemented human shuffle with a new mathematical model. It was found that the equilibrium reached by human hand shuffle is different from that of completely random shuffle in the number of shuffles that can be normally assumed. This means that creating a random state can be difficult in some cases.
