Following the goal of using active particles as targeted cargo carriers aimed, for example, to deliver drugs towards cancer cells, the quest for the control of individual active particles with external fields is among the most explored…
We study collective dynamics of interacting deformable self-propelled particles whose migration velocity increases when the local density of particles is increased. Numerical simulations in two dimensions reveal that traveling bands similar…
A social system is considered whose agents choose between several alternatives of possible actions. The system is described by the fractions of agents preferring the corresponding alternatives. The agents interact with each other by…
We investigate the wave packet dynamics of a pair of particles that undergoes a rapid change of scattering length. The short-range interactions are modeled in the zero-range limit, where the quench is accomplished by switching the boundary…
It is investigated how a spatial quenched disorder modifies the dynamics of coupled map lattices. The disorder is introduced via the presence or absence of coupling terms among lattice sites. Two nonlinear maps have been considered…
We analyze the continuous time evolution of a $d$-dimensional system of $N$ self propelled particles with a kinematic constraint on the velocities inspired by the original Vicsek's one \cite{VCB-JCS}. Interactions among particles are…
This paper introduces a multimethod framework for studying spatial and social dynamics in real-world group-agent interactions with socially interactive agents. Drawing on proxemics and bonding theories, the method combines subjective…
We investigated how the presence of an additional lattice potential, driven by a harmonic noise process, changes the transition rate from the ground band to the first excited band in a Wannier-Stark system. Alongside numerical simulations,…
Self-organization is an ubiquitous phenomenon in nature which can be observed in a variety of different contexts and scales, with examples ranging from fish schools, swarms of birds or locusts, to flocks of bacteria. The observation of such…
We show that two tight binding electrons that repel may form a bounded pair in two dimensions. The paired states form a band with energies that scale like the strength of the interaction potential. By applying an electric field we show that…
Advances in synthetic biology allow us to engineer bacterial collectives with pre-specified characteristics. However, the behavior of these collectives is difficult to understand, as cellular growth and division as well as extra-cellular…
In a social group its members are caled here agents. Any two agents from the group may interact. The interaction consists of the exchange of information and it costs some energy. There exist subgroups of interacting agents which are…
Collective motion of cells is common in many physiological processes, including tissue development, repair, and tumor formation. Recent experiments have shown that certain malignant cancer cells form clusters in a chemoattractant gradient,…
We present a field theoretic renormalization group study for the critical behaviour of a uniformly driven diffusive system with quenched disorder, which is modelled by different kinds of potential barriers between sites. Due to their…
A flat band is nondispersive and formed under destructive interference. Although flat bands are found in various Hermitian systems, to realize a flat band in non-Hermitian systems is an interesting task. Here, we propose a flat band in a…
Transitions between solid-like and fluid-like states in living tissues have been found in steps of embryonic development and in stages of disease progression. Our current understanding of these transitions has been guided by experimental…
Modeling and control of agent-based models is twice cursed by the dimensionality of the problem, as both the number of agents and their state space dimension can be large. Even though the computational barrier posed by a large ensemble of…
We consider arbitrary dense wireless networks, in which $n$ nodes are placed in an arbitrary (deterministic) manner on a square region of unit area and communicate with each other over Gaussian fading channels. We provide inner and outer…
When the electronic dispersion in a material is independent of momentum, it gives rise to strongly correlated flat bands, with the single particle energy, quenched. Though the notion of flat bands had been known since long, their…
We introduce and explore patterned lattices consisting of coupled isospectral cells that vary across the lattice. The isospectrality of the cells is encapsulated in the phase that characterizes each cell and can be designed at will such…
