We study the existence and uniqueness of the time evolution of a system of infinitely many individuals, moving in a tunnel and subjected to a Cucker-Smale type alignment dynamics with compactly supported communication kernels and to…
Recent investigations have provided important insights into the complex structure and dynamics of collectively moving flocks of living organisms. Two intriguing observations are, scale-free correlations in the velocity fluctuations, in the…
In this paper, we consider a multi-agent system consisting of mobile agents with second-order dynamics. The communication network is determined by the so-called topological interaction rule: agents interact with a fixed number of their…
We present a general framework for modeling a wide selection of flocking scenarios under free boundary conditions. Several variants have been considered - including examples for the widely observed behavior of hierarchically interacting…
We consider a perturbed version of the dynamics of a flock introduced by Cucker and Smale ("Emergent behaviour in flocks") and prove, under similar conditions, that nearly-alignment (a concept that is precised in the text) is achieved with…
We investigate the emergent behavior of four types of generic dynamical systems under random environmental perturbations. Sufficient conditions for nearly-emergence in various scenarios are presented. Recent fundamental works of F. Cucker…
In biological materials, strong binding despite an applied load force is often based on clusters of dynamic bonds that share the load. Different macroscopic behaviors have been described depending on whether the load is shared locally or…
We study emergent behaviors of Cucker-Smale(CS) flocks on the hyperboloid $\mathbb{H}^d$ in any dimensions. In a recent work \cite{H-H-K-K-M}, a first-order aggregation model on the hyperboloid was proposed and its emergent dynamics was…
We study a hydrodynamic Cucker-Smale-type model with time delay in communication and information processing, in which agents interact with each other through normalized communication weights. The model consists of a pressureless Euler…
Populations of self-propelled mobile agents - animal groups, robot swarms or crowds of people - that exchange information with their surrounding, host fascinating cooperative behaviors. While in many situations of interest the agents motion…
In this paper, we deal with first and second-order alignment models with non-universal interaction, time delay and possible lack of connection between the agents. More precisely, we analyze the situation in which the system's agents do not…
Flocking is a coordinated collective behavior that results from local sensing between individual agents that have a tendency to orient towards each other. Flocking is common among animal groups and might also be useful in robotic swarms. In…
We discuss the Cucker-Smale's (C-S) particle model for flocking, deriving precise conditions for flocking to occur when pairwise interactions are sufficiently strong long range. We then derive a Vlasov-type kinetic model for the C-S…
In this paper, we analyze a Hegselmann-Krause opinion formation model and a Cucker-Smale flocking model with attractive-repulsive interaction. To be precise, we investigate the situation in which the individuals involved in an opinion…
Collision avoidance is an interesting feature of the Cucker-Smale (CS) model of flocking that has been studied in many works, e.g. [1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 20, 21, 22]. In particular, in the case of singular interactions between agents, as is the…
We introduce and analyze a model for the dynamics of flocking and steering of a finite number of agents. In this model, each agent's acceleration consists of flocking and steering components. The flocking component is a generalization of…
We analyse the asymptotic behavior for kinetic models describing the collective behavior of animal populations. We focus on models for self-propelled individuals, whose velocity relaxes toward the mean orientation of the neighbors. The…
Typically, contagion strength is modeled by a transmission rate $\lambda$, whereby all nodes in a network are treated uniformly in a mean-field approximation. However, local agents react differently to the same contagion based on their…
We consider the Czir\'ok model for collective motion of locusts along a one-dimensional torus. In the model, each agent's velocity locally interacts with other agents' velocities in the system, and there is also exogenous randomness to each…
Collective motion in animal groups provide examples of emergent, decentralised coordination. Here, we examine a bottom-up model of collective behavior based on Future State Maximisation (FSM). In this model agents seek to maximise the…
