We use topological data analysis and machine learning to study a seminal model of collective motion in biology [D'Orsogna et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96 (2006)]. This model describes agents interacting nonlinearly via attractive-repulsive…

This paper presents a new spatial-temporal nonlocal traffic flow model formulated to overcome the boundedness limitations inherent in classical local formulations. The model introduces an adaptive kernel that captures both spatial and…

We introduce a stochastic agent-based model for the flocking dynamics of self-propelled particles that exhibit velocity-alignment interactions with neighbours within their field of view. The stochasticity in the dynamics of the model arises…

Collective motion and self-organization of interacting particles, such as flocking and swarming, can be viewed as nonequilibrium analogues of collective dynamics in gases. Motivated by the analogy between gas mixtures and Cucker--Smale…

Collective behaviors such as swarming and flocking emerge from simple, decentralized interactions in biological systems. Existing models, such as Vicsek and Cucker-Smale, lack collision avoidance, whereas the Olfati-Saber model imposes…

Repulsion between individuals within a finite radius is encountered in numerous applications, including cell exclusion, i.e. avoidance of overlapping cells, bird flocks, or microscopic pedestrian models. We define such individual based…
