We study dynamic interplay between time-delay and velocity alignment in the ensemble of Cucker-Smale (C-S) particles(or agents) on time-varying networks which are modeled by digraphs containing spanning trees. Time-delayed dynamical systems…

The Cucker-Smale flocking model belongs to a wide class of kinetic models that describe a collective motion of interacting particles that exhibit some specific tendency e.g. to aggregate, flock or disperse. The paper examines the kinetic…

Computational models of collective behavior in birds has allowed us to infer interaction rules directly from experimental data. Using a generic form of these rules we explore the collective behavior and emergent dynamics of a simulated…

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…
