Active matter beyond mean-field: Ring-kinetic theory for self-propelled particles
Yen-Liang Chou, Thomas Ihle
A ring-kinetic theory for Vicsek-style models of self-propelled agents is derived from the exact N-particle evolution equation in phase space. The theory goes beyond mean-field and…
Tricritical points in a Vicsek model of self-propelled particles with bounded confidence
Maksym Romenskyy, Vladimir Lobaskin, Thomas Ihle
We study the orientational ordering in systems of self-propelled particles with selective interactions. To introduce the selectivity we augment the standard Vicsek model with a bou…
Reply to comment on "Towards a quantitative kinetic theory of polar active matter" by Bertin et al

Discussion on Peshkov et al., "Boltzmann-Ginzburg-Landau approach for continuous descriptions of generic Vicsek-like models"

Towards a quantitative kinetic theory of polar active matter
Thomas Ihle
A recent kinetic approach for Vicsek-like models of active particles is reviewed. The theory is based on an exact Chapman-Kolmogorov equation in phase space. It can handle discrete…
