Active particles methods towards modeling in science and society

Abstract

This paper is a first step to chase the ambitious objective of developing a mathmatical theory of living systems. The contents refer modeling large systems of interacting living entities with the aim of describing their collective behaviors by differential models. The contents is in three parts. Firstly, we derive the mathematical method; subsequently, we show how the method can be applied in a number of case studies related to well defined living systems and finally, we look ahead to research perspectives focusing both on mathematical methods and further applications.
