Abstract

The method of a physical swarm modeling, based on application of semi-Markov process theory to description of swarm unit cyclograms is worked out. It is shown, that ordinary semi-Markov processes with structural states are abstract analogue of units cyclograms. The method of gathering of ordinary semi-Markov processes into M-parallel process and further transformation of it into complex semi-Markov process with functional states is proposed. It is shown that functional states may be obtained as Cartesian product of sets of ordinary semi-Markov processes states. Operation of semi-Markov matrices Cartesian product is introduced. Method of evaluation of elements of complex semi-Markov matrix is worked out.
