چکیده
In this thesis, we investigate the formation and movement of self-organizing collectives of animals in homogeneous environments. For this, we propose a general modeling framework that incorporates how individuals perceive information from neighbors, and the amount of information perceived. In particular, we construct and analyze a new one-dimensional nonlocal hyperbolic model which assumes that the interactions with neighbors (that is, attraction towards individuals that are far away, repulsion from those that are nearby, and alignment with individuals at intermediate distances) are determined by the information perceived. The model is used to investigate the effects of these social interactions on the emergence and the structure of group patterns.
