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 study a two-species Vicsek model with intra-species alignment and asymmetric inter-species couplings, where one species aligns with the other while the latter anti-aligns. Motivated by recent results showing that globally coherent chiral…
An important characteristic of flocks of birds, school of fish, and many similar assemblies of self-propelled particles is the emergence of states of collective order in which the particles move in the same direction. When noise is added…
We study a model for the collective behavior of self-propelled particles subject to pairwise copying interactions and noise. Particles move at a constant speed $v$ on a two--dimensional space and, in a single step of the dynamics, each…
We study the orientational ordering in systems of self-propelled particles with selective interactions. To introduce the selectivity we augment the standard Vicsek model with a bounded-confidence collision rule: a given particle only aligns…
Collective behavior in biological systems was first captured by the Vicsek model, in which particles align their velocities in the average direction of neighbors, leading to coherent motion and showing an order-disorder transition. However,…
Collective behavior occurs ubiquitously in nature and it plays a key role in bacterial colonies, mammalian cells or flocks of birds. Here, we examine the average density and velocity of self-propelled particles, which are described by a…
In this work we consider the phase transition from ordered to disordered states that occur in the Vicsek model of self-propelled particles. This model was proposed to describe the emergence of collective order in swarming systems. When…
We investigate collective behavior in a $Q$-species Vicsek model with a nonreciprocal velocity alignment interaction. This system is characterized by a constant phase shift $\alpha$ in the inter-species velocity alignment rule. While the…
Motility and nonreciprocity are two primary mechanisms for self-organization in active matter. In a recent study [Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 148301 (2023)], we explored their joint influence in a minimal model of two-species quorum-sensing…
We study the order-disorder transition in a collection of polar self-propelled particles, interacting through a distance dependent short range alignment interaction. A distance dependent interaction parameter $a_0$ is introduced such that…
We study the disorder-to-order transition in a collection of polar self-propelled particles interacting through a distance dependent alignment interaction. Strength of the interaction, $a^{d}$ ($0<a<1$) decays with metric distance $d$…
The emergence of order from initial disordered movement in self-propelled collective motion is an instance of nonequilibrium phase transition, which is known to be first order in the thermodynamic limit. Here, we introduce a multiplicative…
A model of self-driven particles similar to the Vicsek model [Phys. Rev. Lett. 75 (1995) 1226] but with metric-free interactions is studied by means of a novel Enskog-type kinetic theory. In this model, N particles of constant speed v0 try…
Flocking is ubiquitous in nature and emerges due to short- or long-range alignment interactions among self-propelled agents. Two unfriendly species that antialign or even interact nonreciprocally show more complex collective phenomena,…
We investigate a simple Vicsek-type rule-based model for self-propelled particles, where each particle orients itself antiparallel to the average orientation of particles within a defined neighborhood of radius $R$. The particle orientation…
We study a minimal model involving two species of particles interacting via quorum-sensing rules. Combining simulations of the microscopic model and linear stability analysis of the associated coarse-grained field theory, we identify a…
We study a system of self-propelled particles whose alignment with neighbors depends on the degree of local alignment. We show that such a local conformity interaction naturally yields a Vicsek-type model with pairwise and three-body…
We show that fore-aft asymmetry, a generic feature of living organisms and some active matter systems, can have a strong influence on the collective properties of even the simplest flocking models. Specifically, an arbitrarily weak…
We numerically demonstrate bidirectional sorting of flocking particles interacting with an array of asymmetric barriers. Each particle aligns with the average swimming direction of its neighbors according to the Vicsek model and experiences…
