Washburn Alan. Lanchester systems

Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2000. — 24 p.Lanchester sytems are systems of Ordinary Diffential Equations (ODE) where the state variables represent numbers of surviving combat units. They are named for F. W Lanchester (1916), who applied them to aerial combat in WWI. By that time ODE systems had already been used to model various biological phenomena.
