In this note, we consider a kinetic Fokker-Planck-Alignment equation with Rayleigh-type friction and self-propulsion force which is derived from general environmental averaging models. We show the exponential relaxation in time toward…
Many classical examples of models of self-organized dynamics, including the Cucker-Smale, Motsch-Tadmor, multi-species, and several others, include an alignment force that is based upon density-weighted averaging protocol. Those protocols…
We generalize the Vicsek model to describe the collective behaviour of polar circle swimmers with local alignment interactions. While the phase transition leading to collective motion in 2D (flocking) occurs at the same interaction to noise…
We present some recent development in modeling concurrent emergence of collective behaviors, namely, the emergence of clustering, flocking and synchronization at the same time. We derive two new models, namely Swarmalator-Vicsek and…
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…
Consider a system of autonomous interacting agents moving in space, adjusting each own velocity as a weighted mean of the relative velocities of the other agents. In order to test the robustness of the model, we assume that each pair of…
We analyse the asymptotic behavior for kinetic models describing the collective behavior of animal populations. We focus on models for self-propelled individuals, whose velocity relaxes toward the mean orientation of the neighbors. The…
In this paper, we present a model describing the collective motion of birds. The model introduces spontaneous changes in direction which are initialized by few agents, here referred as leaders, whose influence act on their nearest…
Robots sometimes have to work together with a mixture of partially-aligned or conflicting goals. Flocking - coordinated motion through cohesion, alignment, and separation - traditionally assumes uniform desired inter-agent distances. Many…
We study the Cucker--Smale (C-S) flocking systems involving both singularity and noise. We first show the local strong well-posedness for the stochastic singular C-S systems before the first collision time, which is a well defined stopping…
We consider the Cucker-Smale system with multiplicative noise in a harmonic potential field and investigate the effect of harmonic potential field. In the presence of external potential force, the system is expected to emerge into almost…
The purpose of this paper is to consider flocking formations of a second order dynamic system on a sphere with a Cucker-Smale type flocking operator and cooperative control. The flocking operator consists of a weighted control parameter and…
We establish the global existence of weak solutions to a class of kinetic flocking equations. The models under consideration include the kinetic Cucker-Smale equation with possibly non-symmetric flocking potential, the Cucker-Smale equation…
We present the relativistic analogue of the Cucker-Smale model with a bonding force on Riemannian manifold, and study its emergent dynamics. The Cucker-Smale model serves a prototype example of mechanical flocking models, and it has been…
We study numerically a coagulation-fragmentation model derived by Niwa and further elaborated by Degond et al., where a unique equilibrium distribution of group sizes is shown to exist in both cases of continuous and discrete group size…
Most of us must have been fascinated by the eye catching displays of collectively moving animals. Schools of fish can move in a rather orderly fashion and then change direction amazingly abruptly. There are a huge number of further examples…
Groups of animals often tend to arrange themselves in flocks that have characteristic spatial attributes and temporal dynamics. Using a dynamic continuum model for a flock of individuals, we find equilibria of finite spatial extent where…
Fish, birds, insects and robots frequently swim or fly in groups. During their 3 dimensional collective motion, these agents do not stop, they avoid collisions by strong short-range repulsion, and achieve group cohesion by weak long-range…
We study the multi-scale description of large-time collective behavior of agents driven by alignment. The resulting multi-flock dynamics arises naturally with realistic initial configurations consisting of multiple spatial scaling, which in…
We propose a general statistical mechanics framework for the collective motion of animals. The framework considers the principle of maximum entropy, the interaction, boundary, and desire effects, as well as the time-delay effect. These…
