Abstract

Our aim is to illustrate how to apply the methodology for characterizing the useful approximation zone of a lumping process, as described in an earlier note in this journal. Here we review the procedure steps and then go on to present an example in the combat modeling area. We conclude by discussing implications for approximate morphism support of multi-resolution modeling.
