The experiments conducted by various scientific groups indicate that, in dense two-dimensional systems of elongated particles subjected to vibration, the pattern formation is possible. Computer simulations have evidenced that the random…

The paper attempts to find numerical solutions of Diophantine equations, a challenging problem as there are no general methods to find solutions of such equations. It uses the metaphor of foraging habits of real ants. The ant colony…

We study the evolution of a system of $N$ interacting species which mimics the dynamics of a cyclic food chain. On a one-dimensional lattice with N<5 species, spatial inhomogeneities develop spontaneously in initially homogeneous systems.…

There is great potential if we understand how nature functions, particularly the animals taking down from the ant to the larger animals. In this paper we will make an attempt to learn about ants colonization processing by studying their…

Following up on a previous work we examine a model of transportation network in some source-sink flow paradigm subjected to growth and resource allocation. The model is inspired from plants, and we add rules and factors that are analogous…

We study a one-dimensional lattice flocking model incorporating all three of the flocking criteria proposed by Reynolds [Computer Graphics vol.21 4 (1987)]: alignment, centring and separation. The model generalises that introduced by O. J.…

We introduce a model of traveling agents ({\it e.g.} frugivorous animals) who feed on randomly located vegetation patches and disperse their seeds, thus modifying the spatial distribution of resources in the long term. It is assumed that…

A living cell actively generates traction forces on its environment with its actin cytoskeleton. These forces deform the cell elastic substrate which, in turn, affects the traction forces exerted by the cell and can consequently modify the…

Our purpose in this paper is to determine the limiting distribution and the evolution rate of particles near the frontier of branching Brownian motions. Here the branching rate is given by a Kato class measure with compact support in…

We consider a random walk among a Poisson cloud of moving traps on ${\mathbb Z}^d$, where the walk is killed at a rate proportional to the number of traps occupying the same position. In dimension $d=1$, we have previously shown that under…

We consider branes as "points" in an infinite dimensional brane space ${\cal M}$ with a prescribed metric. Branes move along the geodesics of ${\cal M}$. For a particular choice of metric the equations of motion are equivalent to the well…

We consider a branching model for a population of dividing cells infected by parasites. Each cell receives parasites by inheritance from its mother cell and independent contamination from outside the population. Parasites multiply randomly…

The spreading of evolutionary novelties across populations is the central element of adaptation. Unless population are well-mixed (like bacteria in a shaken test tube), the spreading dynamics not only depends on fitness differences but also…

Nutritional regulation by ants emerges from a distributed process: food is collected by a small fraction of workers, stored within the crops of individuals, and spreads via local ant-to-ant interactions. The precise individual level…
