Group chase and escape with some fast chasers.

چکیده
We study group chase and escape with some fast chasers. In our model chasers look for the nearest target and move to one of the nearest sites in order to catch the target. On the other hand, targets try to escape from the nearest chaser. When a chaser catches a target, the target is removed from the system and the number of targets decreases. The lifetime of targets, at which all targets caught, decreases as t^{α} with increasing the number of chasers. When there are no fast chasers and the total number of chasers is small, the exponent α is large. When the total number of chasers is large, α becomes small. There is an optimal number of chasers to minimize the cost used in order to catch all targets. However, when we add a few fast chasers, the region with the large α vanishes. The optimal number of chasers vanishes, and the cost monotonically increases with increasing the number of chasers.

Group chase and escape
We describe here a new concept of one group chasing another, called ‘group chase and escape’, by presenting a simple model. We will show that even a simple model can demonstrate rather rich and complex behavior. In particular, there are cases where an optimal number of chasers exists for a given number of escapees (or targets) to minimize the cost of catching all targets. We have also found an ...
متن کاملChasing and escaping by three groups of species.
We study group chasing and escaping between three species. In our model, one species acts as a group of chasers for another species and acts as a group of targets for the third species. When a particle is caught by a target, the particle becomes a new chaser. Although the ratio of three species is changed, the total number of particles is conserved. When particles move randomly, the numbers of ...
متن کاملSelf-organized populations interacting under pursuit-evasion dynamics
We discuss the modelling of interacting populations through pursuit-evasion —or attraction-repulsion —principles : preys try to escape chasers, chasers are attracted by the presence of preys. We construct a hierarchy of models, ranging from ODEs systems with finite numbers of individuals of each population, to hydrodynamic systems. First order macroscopic models look like generalized “two-speci...
متن کاملAnimating Multiple Escape Maneuvers for a School of Fish
A school of fish exhibit a variety of distinctive maneuvers to escape from predators. For example, they adopt avoid, compact, and inspection maneuvers when predators are nearby, use skitter or fast avoid maneuvers when predators chase them, or exhibit fountain, split, and flash maneuvers when predators attack them. Although these escape maneuvers have long been studied in biology and ecology, t...
متن کاملEnergetics and evasion dynamics of large predators and prey: pumas vs. hounds
Quantification of fine-scale movement, performance, and energetics of hunting by large carnivores is critical for understanding the physiological underpinnings of trophic interactions. This is particularly challenging for wide-ranging terrestrial canid and felid predators, which can each affect ecosystem structure through distinct hunting modes. To compare free-ranging pursuit and escape perfor...
