In a multi-agent system, agents coordinate to achieve global tasks through local communications. Coordination usually requires sufficient information flow, which is usually depicted by the connectivity of the communication network. In a…
We investigate a continuum Lagrangian $p$-alignment system given by a nonlocal mean-field system of ordinary differential equations for interacting agents with weak initial data. We first establish global well-posedness of the Lagrangian…
We study the emergent dynamics of the relativistic kinetic Cucker-Smale (RKCS) model without assuming compactness in spatial and velocity support. In this setting, the lower bound of the kernel function in the nonlocal velocity alignment…
Consider a flock of birds that fly interacting between them. The interactions are modelled through a hierarchical system in which each bird, at each time step, adjusts its own velocity according to his past velocity and a weighted mean of…
A kernel-based framework for spatio-temporal data analysis is introduced that applies in situations when the underlying system dynamics are governed by a dynamic equation. The key ingredient is a representer theorem that involves…
Many biological systems collectively construct complex, adaptive, and functional architectures, where function emerges from bottom-up building processes rather than top-down planning or centralized control. However, general strategies for…
In this note we continue our study of unidirectional solutions to hydrodynamic Euler alignment systems with strongly singular communication kernels $\phi(x):=|x|^{-(n+\alpha)}$ for $\alpha\in(0,2)$. The solutions describe unidirectional…
Empirical observation of high dimensional phenomena, such as the double descent behaviour, has attracted a lot of interest in understanding classical techniques such as kernel methods, and their implications to explain generalization…
The distributional statistical framework replaces classical probability densities by distribution-kernel pairs $(T, \varphi)$, where $T$ is a tempered distribution and $\varphi$ is a rapidly decaying kernel. We develop the thesis that the…
Recent papers have treated {\em control communication complexity} in the context of information-based, multiple agent control systems including nonlinear systems of the type that have been studied in connection with quantum information…
Limit cycle oscillations are phenomena arising in nonlinear dynamical systems and characterized by periodic, locally-stable, and self-sustained state trajectories. Systems controlled in a closed loop along a periodic trajectory can also be…
In this paper a convergent, nearest-neighbor, control protocol is suggested for agents with nontrivial dynamics. The protocol guarantees convergence to a common point in space even if each agent is restricted to communicate with a single…
This work is a series of two articles. The main goal is to rigorously derive the degenerate parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel system in the sub-critical regime from a moderately interacting stochastic particle system. In the first article…
We consider the problem of modeling, estimating, and controlling the latent state of a spatiotemporally evolving continuous function using very few sensor measurements and actuator locations. Our solution to the problem consists of two…
Agent-based models and signalling games are useful tools with which to study the emergence of linguistic communication in a tractable setting. These techniques have been used to study the compositional property of natural languages, but…
For nonrigid image registration, matching the particular structures (or the outliers) that have missing correspondence and/or local large deformations, can be more difficult than matching the common structures with small deformations in the…
In this article, we investigate the convergence behavior of two classes of gathering protocols with fixed circulant topologies using tools from dynamical systems. Given a fixed number of mobile entities moving in the Euclidean plane, we…
In this paper, we tackle a critical issue in nonparametric inference for systems of interacting particles on Riemannian manifolds: the identifiability of the interaction functions. Specifically, we define the function spaces on which the…
Communicating in natural language is a powerful tool in multi-agent settings, as it enables independent agents to share information in partially observable settings and allows zero-shot coordination with humans. However, most prior works…
This paper formalizes a widely used dynamical class--replicator-mutator dynamics and Price-style selection-and-transmission--and makes explicit the modeling choices (scale, atomic unit, interaction topology, transmission kernel) that…
