Abstract
This thesis examines the differences of deterministic and stochastic LANCHESTER-type combat models. Using an example of square-law attrition, solution methods and solutions are described. A new analytic solution for equal attrition rate coefficients is given. The numerical comparison includes hypothesis about the expected force levels and the variability in the expected force levels as a function of time, initial force levels, and breakpoint force levels.

    The effect of uncertainty on Lanchester type equations of combat 

    Craig, James David (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1975-09);
    This thesis examines whether the complex random process of combat can be adequately represented by a deterministic model. Does one destroy any of the essential features of the random combat process by considering a ...

    Application of differential games to problems of military conflict: Tactical allocation problems, Part II 

    Taylor, James G. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1972-11); NPS55TW72111A
    The mathematical theory of optimal control/differential games is used to study the structure of optimal allocation policies for some tactical allocation problems with combat described by Lanchester-type equations of warfare. ...

    Incorporating ensemble-based probabilistic forecasts into a campaign simulation in the Weather Impact Assessment Tool (WIAT) 

    Palmer, Jeffrey M. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2010-06);
    Stochastic (probabilistic) forecasting techniques give forecasters a means to transmit information about certainty and a range of forecast possibilities to operational decision makers. Previous studies have shown value in ...
