Collective dynamics of swarms with a new attraction/repulsion function (Q410527)

Summary: We specify an ``individual-based'' continuous-time model for swarm aggregation in \(n\)-dimensional Euclidean space. We show that the swarm is completely stable, and the center of the swarm is stationary. Numerical simulations indicate that the individuals will form a stable and cohesive swarm, and under the attraction/repulsion function, the bound of the swarm size will increase as the number of individuals increases.
