A framework for continuum modeling of opinion dynamics on a network based on probability of connections
Gianluca Favre, Gaspard Jankowiak, Sara Merino-Aceituno +1
We propose a modeling framework to develop a continuum description of opinion dynamics on networks as an alternative to other models, like the ones based on graphons. In a nutshell…
The Vicsek-Kuramoto model in collective dynamics: macroscopic equations and pattern formation
Sara Merino-Aceituno, Carmela Moschella
In this work, we investigate an individual-based model (IBM) for self-propelled agents interacting locally on a plane. Agents are characterized by their position, the angle determi…
Modeling Protein Diffusion Across ER-Nuclear Envelope Junctions Reveals Efficient Transport via Simple Diffusion
Sara Merino-Aceituno, Carmela Moschella, Shotaro Otsuka +2
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the largest continuous membrane-bound organelle in the cell and plays a central role in the synthesis and turnover of many lipids and proteins. It…
Stability of equilibria of the spatially inhomogeneous Vicsek-BGK equation across a bifurcation
Sara Merino-Aceituno, Christian Schmeiser, Raphael Winter
The Vicsek-BGK equation is a kinetic model for alignment of particles moving with constant speed between stochastic reorientation events with sampling from a von Mises distribution…
