Mean-Field Analysis of a Dynamical Phase Transition in a Cellular Automaton Model for Collective Motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
A cellular automaton model is presented for random walkers with biologically motivated interactions favoring local alignment and leading to collective motion or swarming behavior. The degree of alignment is controlled by a sensitivity parameter, and a dynamical phase transition exhibiting spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry occurs at a critical parameter value. The model is analyzed using nonequilibrium mean field theory: Dispersion relations for the critical modes are derived, and a phase diagram is constructed. Mean field predictions for the two critical exponents describing the phase transition as a function of sensitivity and density are obtained analytically.

Cellular-dynamical mean-field theory of the competition between antiferromagnetism and d-wave superconductivity in the two- dimensional Hubbard model
Cellular dynamical mean field theory is used to study the competition of antiferromagnetism and d-wave superconductivity at zerotemperature in the two-dimensional Hubbard model. The outcome strongly depends on the value of the interaction. At strong coupling (UX8t) a first-order transition takes place as a function of doping between pure antiferromagnet and pure superconductor. At weakcoupling ...

In this paper we proposed a Cellular Automaton based local algorithm to solve the autonomously sensor gathering problem in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSN). In this problem initially the connected mobile sensors deployed in the network and goal is gather all sensors into one location. The sensors decide to move only based on their local information. Cellular Automaton (CA) as dynamical sy...
متن کاملPhase diagram of a stochastic cellular automaton with long-range interactions
A stochastic one-dimensional cellular automaton with long range spatial interactions is introduced. In this model the probability state at time t of a given site depends on the state of all the other sites at time t− 1 through a power law of the type 1/rα, r being the distance between sites. For α → ∞ this model reduces to the Domany-Kinzel cellular automaton. The dynamical phase diagram is ana...

متن کاملCellular dynamical mean-field theory of the periodic Anderson model
We develop a cluster dynamical mean-field theory of the periodic Anderson model in three dimensions, taking a cluster of two sites as a basic reference frame. The mean-field theory displays the basic features of the Doniach phase diagram: a paramagnetic Fermi liquid state, an antiferromagnetic state, and a transition between them. In contrast with spin-density wave theories, the transition is a...
