Stochasticism and Determinism in Simulation Bilateral Warfare

According to the theory of continuous Markov processes we developed stochastic models of the "highly organized" combat action. The model made it possible to calculate the main indicators of the combat of numerous groups. We made a comparison with the results obtained on the basis of a deterministic model of bilateral warfare, the model being built by the mean value dynamics method. Findings of the research show that the errors of the mean value dynamics method primarily result from the co-relation of forces of rival groups, but not their force level at the beginning of the combat. We also made a comparison with simulation results of the "poorly organized" combat.
