On the basis of fundamental principles of the Vicsek model and the leader–follower model, we develop an extended evacuation model of self-propelled particles system considering movable exits, and then propose effective strategies of self-organization evacuating from an enclosed space. It is...

We compare three simple models that reproduce qualitatively the emergent swarming behavior of bird flocks, fish schools, and other groups of self-propelled agents by using a new set of diagnosis tools related to the agents’ spatial distribution. Two of these correspond in fact to different...

We study the collective dynamics of a group of motile particles with a leader. The leader is unaffected by the particle members whereas each member is influenced by the leader and the other members. By using coupled oscillators theory and Lyapunov function method, we show how the group dynamics...

We present a numerical method that allows a formation of communicating agents to target the boundary of a time-dependent concentration by following a time-dependent concentration gradient. The algorithm motivated by [3,1], allows the agents to move in space in a non-stationary environment. Our...

Mexican wave first widely broadcasted during the 1986 World Cup held in Mexico, is a human wave moving along the stands of stadiums as one section of spectators stands up, arms lifting, then sits down as the next section does the same. Here we use variants of models originally developed for the...

We discuss biologically inspired, inherently non-equilibrium models of self-propelled particles, in which the particles interact with their neighbors by choosing at each time step the local average direction of motion. We summarize some of the results of large-scale simulations and theoretical...
