Contributions to Lanchester combat theory
… is to review and supplement existing Lanchester theory and to develop a model which may be used to describe and explain a number of real processes. The processes which have been given most emphasis are in the field of military conflict, but this does not preclude the application to …

Modeling and analysis of market share dynamics in a duopoly subject to affine feedback advertising policies and delays
Presents extensions of the Vidale-Wolfe and Lanchester models for market share duopoly dynamics. The novelties in the proposed extensions are the explicit introduction of a set of undecided clients into existing models, which consider only the sets of clients of the two competing firms, as well as …

A REVISION OF THE FAMILY EUMEDONIDAE DANA, 1853 (CRUSTACEA, DECAPODA, BRACHYURA, XANTHOIDEA)
… to be a junior synonym of Harrovia longipes Lanchester, 1900. Harrovia bituberculata Shen, Dai & Chen, 1982, and Zebrida paucidentata Flipse, 1930, have also been synonymised under Permanotus purpureus (Gordon, 1934), new combination, and Zebrida adamsii White, 1847, respectively. The first …

Three small unit short term force attrition models with logistics considerations
Three related simulation models based on modified Lanchester theory are examined. The models allow consideration of various aspect of logistics to be incorporated into a battle scenario. The first model allows for an overall general logistics percentage factor that must remain the same for each …

Littoral combat vessels analysis and comparison of designs
… and operating costs, a result predicted by Lanchester and Hughes because in naval combat, numerical superiority is the single most important factor in determining the outcome of a battle.

A system dynamics approach to aircraft survivability-attrition analysis
… In 1916 English mathematician Frederick W. Lanchester represented the attrition rates of two opposing forces in the form of two differential equations, functions of the size and combat effectiveness of each side. Lanchester's model was an intellectual breakthrough in the analysis of warfare …

Event prediction for modeling mental simulation in naturalistic decision making
… simulations. Current models digress from Lanchester equations used for modeling the big Cold War scenarios towards modeling of individual soldier capabilities and behavior in the post Cold War environment and increasingly important asymmetric warfare scenarios. Although improvements in …

Combat modelling with partial differential equations
In Part I of this thesis we extend the Lanchester Ordinary Differential Equations and construct a new physically meaningful set of partial differential equations with the aim of more realistically representing soldier dynamics in order to enable a deeper understanding of the nature of conflict. …

A race toward the origin between n random walks
… apparently diverse situations. Examples are Lanchester Combat theory, inventory control, reliability and queueing theory.
