## Abstract The fundamental stochastic duel considers two opponents who fire at each other at either random continuous or fixedβtime intervals with a constant hit probability on each round fired. Each starts with an unloaded weapon, unlimited ammunition, and unlimited time. The first to hit wins. I

## Abstract Ancker's stochastic duels with limited ammunition supply are extended to cases where a kill is obtained through repetitive multiple hits with two firing modes, singleβshot firing and pattern firing. Examples with negative exponential firing time and geometric ammunition supply are given
The bivariate distribution of a two-compartment stochastic system with irreversible, time-dependent transition probabilities is obtained for any point in time. The mean and variance of the number of particles in any compartment and the covariance between the number of particles in each of the two co
