Session: Pinning and Interfacial jumps Pattern formation by invasion in particle suspension

We apply a single Boltzmann-like integro-diierential equation to model pattern formation in aspect space. Dynamics of density distributions are considered in two cases. First, the distribution of organisms on the real line is investigated. A linear stability analysis reveals conditions on interactions between the organisms that lead to aggregation and periodic patterns. Use of diiusion approxim...

This report surveys data and interpretations presented by speakers in the Arthropod Session of the 1994 BSDB Spring Symposium. After a short review of phylogenetical aspects in premolecular insect embryology, the following topics are discussed: the ancestral germ type of pterygote insects, correlations between oogenesis and embryonic pattern formation, the universality or otherwise of bicoid as...

This paper presents a decentralized control policy for symmetric formations in multi-agent systems. It is shown that n agents, each one pursuing its leading neighbor along the line of sight rotated by a common offset angle α, eventually converge to a single point, a circle or a logarithmic spiral pattern, depending on the value of α. In the final part of the paper, we present a strategy to make...

An extremely large body of theoretical work exists on pattern formation, but very few experimental results have confirmed the relevance of theoretical models. It is argued in this article that the notion of agent-based pattern formation, which is introduced and exemplified, can serve as a basis to study pattern formation in nature, especially because pattern-forming systems based on agents are ...

A weakly nonlinear multiple-scales analysis is performed for singly resonant second-harmonic generation. Coupled amplitude equations are derived that describe pattern formation above the transverse instability threshold. The amplitude equations explain the absence of roll patterns and are in good agreement with numerical results. Ó 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 42.65.Sf;...
