In this paper, we study a nonlinear system of first order partial differential equations describing the macroscopic behavior of an ensemble of interacting self-propelled rigid bodies. Such system may be relevant for the modelling of bird…

In this paper, we study the macroscopic limit of a new model of collective displacement. The model, called PTWA, is a combination of the Vicsek alignment model and the Persistent Turning Walker (PTW) model of motion by curvature control.…

This paper derives the arbitrary order globally hyperbolic moment system for a non-linear kinetic description of the Vicsek swarming model by using the operator projection. It is built on our careful study of a family of the complicate Grad…

The Vicsek model (Vicsek et al. 1995) is a very popular minimalist model to study active matter with a number of applications to biological systems at different length scales. With its off-lattice implementation and periodic boundary…

Modelling biological or engineering swarms is challenging due to the inherently high dimension of the system, despite the often low-dimensional emergent dynamics. Most existing swarm modelling approaches are based on first principles and…

In this work, we investigate an individual-based model (IBM) for self-propelled agents interacting locally on a plane. Agents are characterized by their position, the angle determining their direction of motion, and their angular velocity.…

In these lecture notes, prepared for the Microswimmers Summer School 2015 at Forschungszentrum Juelich, I discuss the well known Vicsek model for collective motion and its main properties. In particular, I discuss its algorithmical…

A general class of hybrid models has been introduced recently, gathering the advantages multiscale descriptions. Concerning biological applications, the particular coupled structure fits to collective cell migrations and pattern formation…

Coarse-grained descriptions of collective motion of flocking systems are often derived for the macroscopic or the thermodynamic limit. However, many real flocks are small sized (10 to 100 individuals), called the mesoscopic scales, where…

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…

In this paper, we present a two-species Vicsek model, that describes alignment interactions of self-propelled particles which can either move or not. The model consists in two populations with distinct Vicsek dynamics that interact only via…

We consider the macroscopic model derived by Degond and Motsch from a time-continuous version of the Vicsek model, describing the interaction orientation in a large number of self-propelled particles. In this article, we study the influence…

The Standard Vicsek Model (SVM) is a minimal nonequilibrium model of self-propelled particles that appears to capture the essential ingredients of critical flocking phenomena. In the SVM, particles tend to align with each other and form…

We consider an Individual-Based Model for self-rotating particles interacting through local alignment and investigate its macroscopic limit. This model describes self-propelled particles moving in the plane and trying to synchronize their…

We consider the discrete Couzin-Vicsek algorithm (CVA), which describes the interactions of individuals among animal societies such as fish schools. In this article, we propose a kinetic (mean-field) version of the CVA model and provide its…

In recent years modelling crowd and evacuation dynamics has become very important, with increasing huge numbers of people gathering around the world for many reasons and events. The fact that our global population grows dramatically every…

A stability and bifurcation analysis of a kinetic equation indicates that the flocking bifurcation of the two-dimensional Vicsek model exhibits an interplay between parabolic and hyperbolic behavior. For box sizes smaller than a certain…

We numerically study a discretized Vicsek model (DVM) with particles orienting in $q$ possible orientations in two dimensions. The study probes the significance of anisotropic orientation and microscopic interaction on the macroscopic…

Collective motion is a fundamental phenomenon in biological swarms. As a framework for studying synchronization in motions, the Vicsek model is simple and efficient, assuming isotropic interactions with a complete field of view. Drawing…

Inspired by the works of Hughes [17, 18], we formalize and prove the well posedness of a hyperbolic--elliptic system whose solutions describe the dynamics of a moving crowd. The resulting model is here shown to be well posed and the time of…
