Abstract: We consider systems of agents interacting through topological interactions. These have been shown to play an important part in animal andhuman behavior. Precisely, the system consists of a finite number of particles characterized by their positions and velocities. At random times arandomly chosen particle, the follower, adopts the velocity of its closest neighbor, the leader. We study the limit of a system size going to infinityand, under the assumption of propagation of chaos, show that the limit kinetic equation is a non-standard spatial diffusion equation for the particle distribution function. We also study the case wherein the particles interact with their K closest neighbors and show that the correspondingkinetic equation is the same. Finally, we prove that these models can be seen as a singular limit of the smooth rank-based model previously studied in [10]. The proofs are based on a combinatorial interpretation of the rank as well as some concentration of measure arguments.
