A mathematical framework for a crowd motion model (Q2378318): Difference between revisions

It is considered \(n\) persons identified to rigid discs are supposed to have the same radius \(r.\) The center of the \(i\)th disc is denoted by \(q_{i}.\) The vector of positions \(q=(q_{1},\ldots,q_{n}) \in \mathbb{R}^{2n}\) must belong to the set of feasible configurations \[ Q= \{q\in\mathbb{R}^{2n}: D_{i,j}=|q_{i}-q_{j}| - 2r \geq 0 \, \forall i\neq j\}. \] The spontaneous velocity of the \(n\) discs is written \(U(q)=(U_{0}(q_{1}),\ldots,U_{0}(q_{n})) \in \mathbb{R}^{2n},\) where \(U_{0}(\cdot)\in\mathbb{R}^{2}\) is a global spontaneous velocity field. The set of feasible velocities is defined as \[ C_{q} =\{v\in \mathbb{R}^{2n}: \forall i<j\, D_{i,j}(q)=0 \Rightarrow G_{i,j}(q)\cdot v\geq 0\}, \] where \(G_{i,j}(q)= \nabla D_{i,j}(q)= (0,\ldots,0,-e_{i,j}(q),0,\ldots,0,e_{i,j}(q),0,\ldots,0)\in \mathbb{R}^{2n}.\) The base results are connected with the differential inclusion \[ dq/dt +N_{q}\owns U(q),\quad q(0)=q_{0}. \tag{1} \] where \(N_{q}=\{w: w\cdot v\leq 0\,\forall v \in C_{q}\}.\) It is known that if \(U\) is Lipschitz then for all \(q_{0}\in Q\) problem (1) has one and only one absolutely continuous solution \(q(\cdot).\) A numerical scheme is presented to approximate the solution to (1).
