The metaverse aims to build an immersive virtual reality world to support the daily life, work,
and recreation of people. In this survey, the status quo of the metaverse is investigated, and …

Collective dynamics emerge from countless individual decisions. Yet, we poorly understand
the processes governing dynamically-interacting individuals in human collectives under …

We study a non-Markovian and nonstationary model of animal mobility incorporating both
exploration and memory in the form of preferential returns. Exact results for the probability of …

Naturally occurring body movements and collective neural activity both exhibit complex
dynamics, often with scale-free, fractal spatiotemporal structure. Scale-free dynamics of both …

Mobility restrictions are successfully used to contain the diffusion of epidemics. In this work
we explore their effect on the epidemic growth by investigating an extension of the …

Central-place foraging (CPF), where foragers return to a central location (or home), is a key
feature of hunter–gatherer social organization. CPF could have significantly changed hunter …

Search requires balancing exploring for more options and exploiting the ones previously
found. Individuals foraging in a group face another trade-off: whether to engage in social …

The Lévy walk (LW) is a non-Brownian random walk model that has been found to describe
anomalous dynamic phenomena in diverse fields ranging from biology over quantum …

Intrinsically motivated information seeking is an expression of curiosity believed to be central
to human nature. However, most curiosity research relies on small, Western convenience …

We consider a forager diffusing via a fractional heat equation and we introduce several
efficiency functionals whose optimality is discussed in relation to the Lévy exponent of the …
