We introduce a Vicsek-like flocking model with a minimal form of time-delayed orientational interactions, in which the delays occur on a time scale that is well-separated from other time scales in the model. We achieve this by implementing…

An Ising-type Vicsek model is proposed for collective motion and sudden direction change in a population of self-propelled particles. Particles move on a linear lattice with velocity +1 or -1 in the one-dimensional model. The probability of…

The classic Vicsek model [Phys.Rev.Lett. {\bf75},1226(1995)] is studied in the regime of very low noise intensities, which is shown to be characterized by a cluster (MC) that contains a macroscopic fraction of the system particles. It is…

The Vicsek model for the self-propelled particles is investigated with the respect to the introduction of the stochastic perturbation of the dynamics. It is shown that such a dependence can be thought in terms of the isomorphism of the…

Collective motion in active matter is usually modelled through instantaneous local alignment, where each agent updates its heading from the current configuration of its neighbours. Many biological and engineered agents, however, possess…

As collective states of animal groups go, swarms of midge insects pose a number of puzzling questions. Their ordering polarization parameter is quite small and the insects are weakly coupled among themselves but strongly coupled to the…

Understanding collective self-organization in active matter, such as bird flocks and fish schools, remains a grand challenge in physics. Interactions that induce alignment are essential for flocking; however, alignment alone is generally…

Recently, the anchor acceleration, an acceleration mechanism distinct from Nesterov's, has been discovered for minimax optimization and fixed-point problems, but its mechanism is not understood well, much less so than Nesterov acceleration.…
