Evolution in finite populations is often modelled using the classical Moran process. Over the last ten years this methodology has been extended to structured populations using evolutionary graph theory. An important question in any such…
In this paper, we propose a numerical investigation of topological interactions in flocking dynamics. Starting from a microscopic description of the phenomena, mesoscopic and macroscopic models have been previously derived under specific…
Coordinated collective motion in bird flocks and fish schools inspires algorithms for cohesive swarm robotics. This paper presents a position-based flocking model that achieves persistent velocity alignment without velocity sensing. By…
Collective dynamics of many interacting particles have been widely studied because of a wealth of their behavioral patterns quite different from the individual traits. A selective way of birds that reacts to their neighbors is one of the…
The Moran process, as studied by [Lieberman, E., Hauert, C. and Nowak, M. Evolutionary dynamics on graphs. Nature 433, pp. 312-316 (2005)], is a stochastic process modeling the spread of genetic mutations in populations. In this process,…
Flocking is a fascinating phenomenon observed across a wide range of living organisms. We investigate, based on a simple self-propelled particle model, how the emergence of ordered motion in a collectively moving group is influenced by the…
In this work, we examine a kinetic framework for modeling the time evolution of size distribution densities of two populations governed by predator-prey interactions. The model builds upon the classical Boltzmann-type equations, where the…
We establish sufficient conditions for the quick relaxation to kinetic equilibrium in the classic Vicsek-Cucker-Smale model of bird flocking. The convergence time is polynomial in the number of birds as long as the number of flocks remains…
Birds in a flock move in a correlated way, resulting in large polarization of velocities. A good understanding of this collective behavior exists for linear motion of the flock. Yet observing actual birds, the center of mass of the group…
We investigate the effects of long-range social interactions in flocking dynamics by studying the dynamics of a scalar model of collective motion embedded in a complex network representing a pattern of social interactions, as observed in…
Flocking models with metric and topological interactions are supposed to exhibit distinct features, as for instance the presence and absence of moving polar bands. On the other hand, quenched disorder (spatial heterogeneities) has been…
We study the large-time behavior of continuum alignment dynamics based on Cucker-Smale (CS)-type interactions which involve short-range kernels, that is, communication kernels with support much smaller than the diameter of the crowd. We…
For $\Delta \ge 5$ and $q$ large as a function of $\Delta$, we give a detailed picture of the phase transition of the random cluster model on random $\Delta$-regular graphs. In particular, we determine the limiting distribution of the…
Kempe, Kleinberg and Tardos (KKT) proposed the following conjecture about the general threshold model in social networks: local monotonicity and submodularity imply global monotonicity and submodularity. That is, if the threshold function…
Collective behaviors such as swarming and flocking emerge from simple, decentralized interactions in biological systems. Existing models, such as Vicsek and Cucker-Smale, lack collision avoidance, whereas the Olfati-Saber model imposes…
By considering a lattice model of extended phase space, and using techniques of noncommutative differential geometry, we are led to: (a) the conception of vector fields as generators of motion and transition probability distributions on the…
We investigate rumor spreading in a generalized Maki-Thompson model with spontaneous stifling, evolving on quasi-transitive networks. Individuals are either ignorants, spreaders, or stiflers; spreaders stop by contact with other spreaders…
We prove the lack of asymptotic collisions between particles following the Cucker-Smale flocking model with a bonding force and its simplification. Moreover, we prove that in the case of the CSB model with a singular communication weight,…
We introduce a multi-dimensional variant of the kinetic Cucker-Smale model with singular and matrix-valued communication weight, which reduces to the singular kinetic Cucker-Smale equation in the one-dimensional case. We propose an…
