Armed conflicts have been prevalent throughout history, in some cases having very great
consequences. To win, one needs to understand the characteristics of an armed conflict and …

This book deals with the processes, methods, and concepts that lie behind modern models
of combat. It is intended for readers with at least a scientific bachelor's degree and some …

Recent experiments have demonstrated the importance of numerical assessment in animal
contests. Nevertheless, few attempts have been made to model explicitly the relationship …

Many authors have used dynamical systems to model asymmetric war. We explore this
approach more broadly, first returning to the prototypical models such as Richardson's arms …

Abstract Lanchester's “Laws of Combat” are mathematical principles that have long been
used to model military conflict. More recently, they have been applied to conflict among …

Обсуждаются современные тенденции построения комплексных иерархических
моделей военных действий. Для этого сначала приводится краткий навигатор по …

Lanchester equations and their extensions are widely used to calculate attrition in models of
warfare. This paper examines how Lanchester models fit detailed daily data on the battles of …

An overview of Lanchester combat models, emphasising their pedagogical possibilities.
After a description of the aimed-fire model and comments on the literature, we introduce …

The outcomes of warfare have rarely only been characterised by the quantity and quality of
individual combatant force elements. The ability to manoeuvre and adapt across force …

Lanchester's models of attrition describe casualty rates during battles between groups as
functions of the numbers of individuals and their fighting abilities. Originally developed to …
