Stability analysis of swarms

چکیده
In this brief article we specify an “individual-based” continuous time model for swarm aggregation in n-dimensional space and study its stability properties. We show that the individuals (autonomous agents or biological creatures) will form a cohesive swarm in a finite time. Moreover, we obtain an explicit bound on the swarm size, which depends only on the parameters of the swarm model.

Stability-Based Model Order Selection for Clustering Using Multiple Cooperative Particle Swarms
Data clustering is the organization of a set of unlabelled data into similar groups. In this chapter, stability analysis is proposed to determine the model order of the underlying data using multiple cooperative swarms clustering. The mathematical explanations demonstrating why multiple cooperative swarms clustering leads to more stable and robust results than those of single swarm clustering a...
متن کاملStability analysis of one-dimensional asynchronous swarms
Coordinated swarm behavior in certain types of animals can also occur in groups of autonomous vehicles. Swarm “cohesiveness” is characterized as a stability property. Conditions for one-dimensional asynchronous swarms to achieve collision-free convergence even in the presence of sensing delays and asynchronism during movements are provided. Each finite-size swarm member has proximity sensors an...
متن کاملThe resonant structure of Jupiter’s trojan asteroids-II. What happens for different configurations of the planetary system
In a previous paper, we have found that the resonance structure of the present Jupiter Trojan swarms could be split up into four different families of resonances. Here, in a first step, we generalize these families in order to describe the resonances occurring in Trojan swarms embedded in a generic planetary system. The location of these families changes under a modification of the fundamental ...
متن کاملCollective navigation of cargo-carrying swarms.
Much effort has been devoted to the study of swarming and collective navigation of micro-organisms, insects, fish, birds and other organisms, as well as multi-agent simulations and to the study of real robots. It is well known that insect swarms can carry cargo. The studies here are motivated by a less well-known phenomenon: cargo transport by bacteria swarms. We begin with a concise review of ...
متن کاملEmergent Structures Assembled by Large Swarms of Simple Robots
Traditional architecture relies on construction processes that require careful planning and strictly defined outcomes at every stage; yet in nature, millions of relatively simple social insects collectively build large complex nests without any global coordination or blueprint. Here, we present a testbed designed to explore how emergent structures can be assembled using swarms of active robots ...
