Mathematical modelling of information age conflict

From MaRDI portal





Summary: Previous mathematical modelling of conflict has been based on Lanchester's equations, which relate to the grinding attrition of ``industrial-age warfare. Large blocks of force interact in order to force defeat by a process of wearing away the other. This is no longer so relevant as a way of conceptualising warfare, and we generalise the approach so that it is more appropriate to the ``information age into which we are now moving. It turns out that the solution to this problem is the development of a theory of what we call ``scale-free systems. We first develop this theory, and then indicate how it can be applied.
