Nash epidemics
Simon K. Schnyder, John J. Molina, Ryoichi Yamamoto +1
Faced with a dangerous epidemic humans will spontaneously social distance to reduce their risk of infection at a socio-economic cost. Compartmentalised epidemic models have been ex…
Integrating GNN and Neural ODEs for Estimating Non-Reciprocal Two-Body Interactions in Mixed-Species Collective Motion
Masahito Uwamichi, Simon K. Schnyder, Tetsuya J. Kobayashi +1
Analyzing the motion of multiple biological agents, be it cells or individual animals, is pivotal for the understanding of complex collective behaviors. With the advent of advanced…
Rational social distancing in epidemics with uncertain vaccination timing
Simon K. Schnyder, John J. Molina, Ryoichi Yamamoto +1
During epidemics people may reduce their social and economic activity to lower their risk of infection. Such social distancing strategies will depend on information about the cours…
Rational social distancing policy during epidemics with limited healthcare capacity
Simon K. Schnyder, John J. Molina, Ryoichi Yamamoto +1
Epidemics of infectious diseases posing a serious risk to human health have occurred throughout history. During recent epidemics there has been much debate about policy, including…
Nash Neural Networks : Inferring Utilities from Optimal Behaviour
John J. Molina, Simon K. Schnyder, Matthew S. Turner +1
We propose Nash Neural Networks () as a new type of Physics Informed Neural Network that is able to infer the underlying utility from observations of how rational individuals…
The role of the cell cycle in collective cell dynamics
Jintao Li, Simon K. Schnyder, Matthew S. Turner +1
Cells coexist together in colonies or as tissues. Their behaviour is controlled by an interplay between intercellular forces and biochemical regulation. We develop a simple model o…
Spontaneous Spatiotemporal Ordering of Shape Oscillations Enhances Cell Migration
Matteo Campo, Simon K. Schnyder, John J. Molina +2
The migration of cells is relevant for processes such as morphogenesis, wound healing, and invasion of cancer cells. In order to move, single cells deform cyclically. However, it i…
Control of cell colony growth by contact inhibition
Simon K. Schnyder, John J. Molina, Ryoichi Yamamoto
We investigate the dynamics of a colony of crawling, proliferating cells with a minimal, mechanical cell model. The cells consist of two disks, modelling the cell body and a pseudo…
Crowding of interacting fluid particles in porous media through molecular dynamics: breakdown of universality for soft interactions
Simon Kaspar Schnyder, Jürgen Horbach
Molecular dynamics simulations of interacting soft disks confined in a heterogeneous quenched matrix of soft obstacles show dynamics which is fundamentally different from that of h…
Dynamic heterogeneities and non-Gaussian behavior in two-dimensional randomly confined colloidal fluids
Simon K. Schnyder, Thomas O. E. Skinner, Alice L. Thorneywork +3
A binary mixture of super-paramagnetic colloidal particles is confined between glass plates such that the large particles become fixed and provide a two-dimensional disordered matr…
Collective motion of cells crawling on a substrate: roles of cell shape and contact inhibition
Simon Kaspar Schnyder, Yuki Tanaka, John Jairo Molina +1
Contact inhibition plays a crucial role in the motility of cells, the process of wound healing, and the formation of tumors. By mimicking the mechanical motion of calls crawling on…
Classical Liquids in Fractal Dimension
Marco Heinen, Simon K. Schnyder, John F. Brady +1
We introduce fractal liquids by generalizing classical liquids of integer dimensions to a fractal dimension . The particles composing the liquid are fractal obje…
Rounding of the localization transition in model porous media
Simon K. Schnyder, Markus Spanner, Felix Höfling +2
The generic mechanisms of anomalous transport in porous media are investigated by computer simulations of two-dimensional model systems. In order to bridge the gap between the stro…
Localization dynamics of fluids in random confinement
Thomas O. E. Skinner, Simon K. Schnyder, Dirk G. A. L. Aarts +2
The dynamics of two-dimensional fluids confined within a random matrix of obstacles is investigated using both colloidal model experiments and molecular dynamics simulations. By va…
Dynamic arrest in model porous media -- intermediate scattering functions
Markus Spanner, Simon K. Schnyder, Felix Höfling +2
Heterogeneous media constitute random disordered environments where transport is drastically hindered. Employing extensive molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the spatio…
Long-Wavelength Anomalies in the Asymptotic Behavior of Mode-Coupling Theory
S. K. Schnyder, F. Höfling, T. Franosch +1
We discuss the dynamic behavior of a tagged particle close to a classical localization transition in the framework of the mode-coupling theory of the glass transition. Asymptotic r…
