Abstract

This paper considers continuous models of informational warfare based on the traditional neurological scheme. Using the method of substituting differential equations by cellular automata we propose a discrete version of the information warfare model. This model is used to simulate a propaganda campaign by two parties and to carry out a number of computational experiments. It is shown that the macrodynamics of the new model correspond to one of the original model, while the discrete model has a wider range of applicability. For some problems of confrontation between two parties results similar to those of the continuous model are obtained. The proposed discrete model allows a study of the problem of the optimal single destabilization of the campaign. This study yielded original results, such as existence of the critical value of the coefficient of the influence of public opinion on the opinion of an individual, which determines the period of time when it is more advantageous for one of the parties to increase the level of its propaganda.

基于元胞自动机的信息战模型

摘要

本文考虑了基于传统神经系统方案的信息战的连续模型。使用通过元胞自动机代替微分方程的方法，我们提出了信息战模型的离散版本。该模型用于模拟两方的宣传运动并进行许多计算实验。结果表明，新模型的宏观动力学特征与原模型之一相对应，而离散模型的适用范围更广。对于两方之间对抗的一些问题，获得了与连续模型相似的结果。所提出的离散模型允许对战役的最佳单次失稳问题进行研究。这项研究得出了原始结果，
