Abstract
The primary purpose of this thesis is to to demonstrate some principles of
combat modeling using programs for the Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100 computer.
In addition to the combat modeling, the thesis includes several utility programs for the
iMlOO of interest to students of operations analysis.
The combat modeling programs include an antisubmarine warfare (ASW)
detection simulation, a Kalman filter, and a Lanchester differential equation
simulation. The utility programs include a matrix algebra program, a numerical double
integration program using Simpson's Rule and the Romberg integration algorithm, and
a geometric programming program for zero degree of difficulty problems. The
integration program is also written as a subroutine that can be included in other
programs. The matrix algebra program includes a simultaneous linear equation solving
subroutine which can be used in other programs.
All programs are written in M100 BASIC. Documentation includes an
explanation of the input required, the output produced, and the components of each
program, and sample problems. The chapter on geometric programming includes a
tutorial on the mathematical basis for that technique.
