Over the past two decades, complex network theory provided the ideal framework for
investigating the intimate relationships between the topological properties characterizing the …

A wide range of experimental systems including gliding, swarming and swimming bacteria,
in vitro motility assays, and shaken granular media are commonly described as self …

We present a comprehensive computational study of the collective behavior emerging from
the competition between self-propulsion, excluded volume interactions and velocity …

Synchronization, the temporal coordination of coupled oscillators, allows fireflies to flash in
unison, neurons to fire collectively, and human crowds to fall in step on the London …

We consider the two-species Vicsek model (TSVM) consisting of two kinds of self-propelled
particles, A and B, that tend to align with particles from the same species and to antialign …

In this paper, we systematically derive a fourth-order continuum theory capable of
reproducing mesoscale turbulence in a three-dimensional suspension of microswimmers …

Different aspects of synchronization emerging in networks of coupled oscillators have been
examined prominently in the last decades. Nevertheless, little attention has been paid on the …

We demonstrate that active rotations in chemically signalling particles, such as
autochemotactic E. coli close to walls, create a route for pattern formation based on a …

We study self-propelled particles with velocity reversal interacting by uniaxial (nematic)
alignment within a coarse-grained hydrodynamic theory. Combining analytical and …

Flocking models with metric and topological interactions are supposed to exhibit distinct
features, as for instance the presence and absence of moving polar bands. On the other …
