Group formation and cohesion of active particles with visual perception–dependent motility
FA Lavergne, H Wendehenne, T Bäuerle, C Bechinger - Science, 2019 - science.org
Group formation in living systems typically results from a delicate balance of repulsive,
aligning, and attractive interactions. We found that a mere motility change of the individuals …

Run-and-tumble particle in one-dimensional confining potentials: Steady-state, relaxation, and first-passage properties
We study the dynamics of a one-dimensional run-and-tumble particle subjected to confining
potentials of the type V (x)= α| x| p, with p> 0. The noise that drives the particle dynamics is …
