Mechanistic simulators are an indispensable tool for epidemiology to explore the behavior of complex, dynamic infections under varying conditions and navigate uncertain environments. Agent-based models (ABMs) are an increasingly popular…

Lattice-based random walk models are widely used to study populations of migrating cells with motility bias and proliferation. Crowding is typically represented by volume exclusion, where each lattice site can be occupied by at most one…

We consider discrete dynamical systems of "ant-like" agents engaged in a sequence of pursuits on a graph environment. The agents emerge one by one at equal time intervals from a source vertex $s$ and pursue each other by greedily attempting…
