✦ Synopsis

The Theory of Stochastic Duels i s extended by considering the d i stribution of time -to-completion of the fundamental duel. The model has fixed kill probabilities and either random o r fixed t i m e between rounds fired. Time-limitation i s included. Special c a s e s and examples a r e worked out. Clearly, the time-duration of combat has both tactical and logistic implications f o r the decision-maker.

## Abstract The fundamental stochastic duel considers two opponents who fire at each other at either random continuous or fixed‐time 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

A systematic method is developed for the calculation of characteristic times, called nonlinear relaxation times (NLRT), to describe the dynamical relaxation of the linear transient stochastic systems whose control parameters are time-dependent functions. For those control parameters, which are modul

## Abstract We develop algorithms to calculate the probability distribution of the longest path of an arbitrary stochastic activity network with continuous activity durations by three techniques: recursive Monte Carlo simulation, series‐parallel reduction, and conditioning. Examples illustrate the
