We derive general kinetic and hydrodynamic models of chemotactic aggregation that describe certain features of the morphogenesis of biological colonies (like bacteria, amoebae, endothelial cells or social insects). Starting from a…
Using a coarse molecular-dynamics (CMD) approach with an appropriate choice of coarse variable (order parameter), we map the underlying effective free-energy landscape for the melting of a crystalline solid. Implementation of this approach…
In recent years, kinetic equations have been used to model many social phenomena. A key feature of these models is that transition rate kernels involve Dirac delta functions, which capture sudden, discontinuous state changes. Here, we study…
The Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system governs chemotaxis in liquid environments. This system is to be solved for the organism and chemoattractant densities and for the fluid velocity and pressure. It is known that if the total initial cell…

A class of parabolic-parabolic Keller-Segel systems with degenerate diffusion and volume filling is studied in a bounded domain subject to no-flux boundary conditions. The equations are derived from a multiphase fluid model. The interplay…
Chemotaxis is a fundamental guidance mechanism of cells and organisms, responsible for attracting microbes to food, embryonic cells into developing tissues, immune cells to infection sites, animals towards potential mates, and…
The dynamical arrest of gels is the consequence of a well defined structural phase transition, leading to the formation of a spanning cluster of bonded particles. The dynamical glass transition, instead, is not accompanied by any clear…
A large number of biological systems - from bacteria to sheep - can be described as ensembles of self-propelled agents (active particles) with a complex internal dynamic that controls the agent's behavior: resting, moving slow, moving fast,…
This paper studies the controllability for a Keller-Segel type chemotaxis model with singular sensitivity. Based on the Hopf-Cole transformation, a nonlinear parabolic system, which has first-order couplings, and the coupling coefficients…
We have investigated the nature of the dynamical behaviour in low autocorrelation binary sequences. These models do have a glass transition $T_G$ of a purely dynamical nature. Above the glass transition the dynamics is not fully ergodic and…
