In a canonical model of military conflict, victory and defeat depend stochastically on the difference of resources … deployed by the conflict parties. The present paper offers a comprehensive analysis of that model. The unique Nash equilibrium … conflict and, less often so, of its resolution. The formal derivation exploits the variation-diminishing property of higher …
