Recent advances in technology and quantitative methods have led to the emergence of a
new field of study that stands to link insights of researchers from two closely related, but …

The formation and dynamics of swarms is widespread in living systems, from bacterial
biofilms to schools of fish and flocks of birds. We study this emergent collective behavior via …

Collective behaviour is typically thought to arise from individuals following fixed interaction
rules. The possibility that interaction rules may change under different circumstances has …

Learning has been studied extensively in the context of isolated individuals. However, many
organisms are social and consequently make decisions both individually and as part of a …

We develop a weak-form sparse identification method for interacting particle systems (IPS)
with the primary goals of reducing computational complexity for large particle number N and …

This survey summarizes and illustrates the main qualitative properties of hydrodynamics
models for collective behavior. These models include a velocity consensus term together …

The collective motion observed in living active matter, such as fish schools and bird flocks, is
characterized by its dynamic and complex nature, involving various moving states and …

This paper develops a novel methodology for optimal control of islanded microgrids (MGs)
based on the coot bird metaheuristic optimizer (CBMO). To this end, the optimum gains for …

It is commonly believed that global patterns of motion in flocks, schools and crowds emerge
from local interactions between individuals, through a process of self-organization. The key …

We study equilibrium configurations of swarming biological organisms subject to exogenous
and pairwise endogenous forces. Beginning with a discrete dynamical model, we derive a …
