Flocking is ubiquitous in nature and emerges due to short- or long-range alignment interactions among self-propelled agents. Two unfriendly species that antialign or even interact nonreciprocally show more complex collective phenomena,…

Hydrodynamic systems arising in swarming modelling include nonlocal forces in the form of attractive-repulsive potentials as well as pressure terms modelling strong local repulsion. We focus on the case where there is a balance between…

We study the role of hydrodynamic interactions in the collective behaviour of collections of microscopic active particles suspended in a fluid. We introduce a novel calculational framework that allows us to separate the different…

We investigate the collective transport properties of microscopic magnetic rollers that propel close to a surface due to a circularly polarized, rotating magnetic field. The applied field exerts a torque to the particles, which induces a…

We present a Cucker-Smale (C-S) type flocking model on a sphere. We study velocity alignment on a sphere and prove the emergence of flocking for the proposed model. Our model includes three new terms: a centripetal force, multi-agent…

We study the large-time behavior of systems driven by radial potentials, which react to anticipated positions, ${\mathbf x}^\tau(t)={\mathbf x}(t)+\tau {\mathbf v}(t)$, with anticipation increment $\tau>0$. As a special case, such systems…

We consider a hydrodynamic model of flocking-type with all-to-all interaction kernel in one-space dimension and establish global existence of entropy weak solutions with concentration to the Cauchy problem for any BV initial data that has…

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…

The cohesive collective motion (flocking, swarming) of autonomous agents is ubiquitously observed and exploited in both natural and man-made settings, thus, minimal models for its description are essential. In a model with continuous space…

We study in detail the hydrodynamic theories describing the transition to collective motion in polar active matter, exemplified by the Vicsek and active Ising models. Using a simple phenomenological theory, we show the existence of an…

We study a new flocking model which has the versatility to capture the physically realistic qualitative behavior of the Motsch-Tadmor model, while also retaining the entropy law, which lends to a similar 1D global well-posedness analysis to…

We introduce a family of lattice-gas models of flocking, whose thermodynamically consistent dynamics admits a proper equilibrium limit at vanishing self-propulsion. These models are amenable to an exact coarse-graining which allows us to…

We continue our study of one-dimensional class of Euler equations, introduced in \cite{ST2016}, driven by a forcing with a commutator structure of the form $[\aL_\phi,u](\rho)=\phi*(\rho u)- (\phi*\rho)u$, where $u$ is the velocity field…

This survey summarizes and illustrates the main qualitative properties of hydrodynamics models for collective behavior. These models include a velocity consensus term together with attractive-repulsive potentials leading to non-trivial…

Flocking, as paradigmatically exemplified by birds, is the coherent collective motion of active agents. As originally conceived, flocking emerges through alignment interactions between the agents. Here, we report that flocking can also…
