Collision avoidance is an interesting feature of the Cucker-Smale (CS) model of flocking that has been studied in many works, e.g. [1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 20, 21, 22]. In particular, in the case of singular interactions between agents, as is the…
Evolutionary graph theory studies the evolutionary dynamics of populations structured on graphs. A central problem is determining the probability that a small number of mutants overtake a population. Currently, Monte Carlo simulations are…
We consider a hydrodynamic model of flocking-type with all-to-all interaction kernel in one-space dimension and establish that the global entropy weak solutions, constructed in [2] to the Cauchy problem for any $BV$ initial data that has…
Using graphical methods based on a `lookdown' and pruned version of the {\em ancestral selection graph}, we obtain a representation of the type distribution of the ancestor in a two-type Wright-Fisher population with mutation and selection,…
We present a simple model of protesters scattered throughout a city who want to gather into large and mobile groups. This model relies on random walkers on a street network that follow tactics built from a set of basic rules. Our goal is to…
We consider a perturbed version of the dynamics of a flock introduced by Cucker and Smale ("Emergent behaviour in flocks") and prove, under similar conditions, that nearly-alignment (a concept that is precised in the text) is achieved with…
We study nondeterministic and probabilistic versions of a discrete dynamical system (due to T. Antal, P. L. Krapivsky, and S. Redner) inspired by Heider's social balance theory. We investigate the convergence time of this dynamics on…
In this work, the primary goal is to establish rigorous connection between the Fokker-Planck equation of neural networks with its microscopic model: the diffusion-jump stochastic process that captures the mean field behavior of collections…
We present a systematic approach to regularity theory of the multi-dimensional Euler alignment systems with topological diffusion introduced in \cite{STtopo}. While these systems exhibit flocking behavior emerging from purely local…
We here study random evolutions on Banach spaces, driven by a class of semi-Markov processes. The expectation (in the sense of Bochner) of such evolutions is shown to solve some abstract Cauchy problems. Further, the abstract telegraph…
Complex networks exhibit a wide range of collective dynamic phenomena, including synchronization, diffusion, relaxation, and coordination processes. Their asymptotic dynamics is generically characterized by the local Jacobian, graph…
We consider the Czir\'ok model for collective motion of locusts along a one-dimensional torus. In the model, each agent's velocity locally interacts with other agents' velocities in the system, and there is also exogenous randomness to each…
This paper presents a unified mathematical theory of swarms where the dynamics of social behaviors interacts with the mechanical dynamics of self-propelled particles. The term behavioral swarms is introduced to characterize the specific…
We present a general model for the growth of weighted networks in which the structural growth is coupled with the edges' weight dynamical evolution. The model is based on a simple weight-driven dynamics and a weights' reinforcement…
We investigate the Cauchy problem and the diffusion asymptotics for a spatially inhomogeneous kinetic model associated to a nonlinear Fokker-Planck operator. We derive the global well-posedness result with instantaneous smoothness effect,…
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…
Recent investigations have provided important insights into the complex structure and dynamics of collectively moving flocks of living organisms. Two intriguing observations are, scale-free correlations in the velocity fluctuations, in the…
Rumor spreading is a ubiquitous phenomenon in social and technological networks. Traditional models consider that the rumor is propagated by pairwise interactions between spreaders and ignorants. Spreaders can become stiflers only after…
An infinite population of point entities dwelling in the habitat $X=\mathds{R}^d$ is studied. Its members arrive at and depart from $X$ at random. The departure rate has a term corresponding to a logistic-type interaction between the…
Complex contagions describe diffusion of behaviors in a social network in settings where spreading requires the influence by two or more neighbors. In a $k$-complex contagion, a cluster of nodes are initially infected, and additional nodes…
