Mean-field theory of collective motion due to velocity alignment
Establishing a direct link between individual based models and the corresponding population description is a common challenge in theoretical ecology. Swarming is a prominent example, where collective effects arising from interactions of individuals are essential for the understanding of large-scale spatial population dynamics, and where both levels of modelling have been often employed without ...
متن کاملA mean-field theory for self-propelled particles interacting by velocity alignment mechanisms
A mean-field approach (MFA) is proposed for the analysis of orientational order in a two-dimensional system of stochastic self-propelled particles interacting by local velocity alignment mechanism. The treatment is applied to the cases of ferromagnetic (F) and liquid-crystal (LC) alignment. In both cases, MFA yields a second order phase transition for a critical noise strength and a scaling exp...
متن کاملMean-field theory of collective transport with phase slips
The driven transport of plastic systems in various disordered backgrounds is studied within mean field theory. Plasticity is modeled using nonconvex interparticle potentials that allow for phase slips. This theory most naturally describes sliding charge density waves; other applications include flow of colloidal particles or driven magnetic flux vortices in disordered backgrounds. The phase dia...
متن کاملPhase Clustering and Collective Behaviors in Globally Coupled Map Lattices due to mean Field Effects
We describe the emergence of phase clustering and collective behaviors in an ensemble of chaotic coupled map lattices, due to a mean field interaction. This kind of interaction is responsible for the appearence of a collective state, wherein the mean field evolution of each lattice undergoes a periodic behavior in space. We analyze the transition to such a state in an ensemble of one-dimensiona...
متن کاملEmbedded mean-field theory.
We introduce embedded mean-field theory (EMFT), an approach that flexibly allows for the embedding of one mean-field theory in another without the need to specify or fix the number of particles in each subsystem. EMFT is simple, is well-defined without recourse to parameters, and inherits the simple gradient theory of the parent mean-field theories. In this paper, we report extensive benchmarki...
