HYDRODYNAMIC LIMITS OF SOME KINETIC EQUATIONS (Mathematical Analysis in Fluid and Gas Dynamics)
A class of individual-based models
We discuss a class of mathematical models of biological systems at microscopic level - i.e. at the level of interacting individuals of a population. The class leads to partially integral stochastic semigroups- [5]. We state general conditions guaranteeing the asymptotic stability. In particular under some rather restrictive assumptions we observe that any, even non-factorized, initial probability density tends in the evolution to a factorized equilibrium probability density - [4]. We discuss possible applications of the general theory such as redistribution of individuals - [2], thermal denaturation of DNA [1], and tendon healing process - [3].

A simple kinetic equation of swarm formation: blow–up and global existence
International audienceIn the present paper we identify both blow–up and global existence behaviors for a simple but very rich kinetic equation describing of a swarm formation
Blow-up and global existence for a kinetic equation of swarm formation
International audienceIn the present paper we study possible blow–ups and global existence for a kinetic equation that describes swarm formations in the variable interacting rate case
A Kinetic Model for the formation of Swarms with nonlinear interactions
International audienceThe present paper deals with the modeling of formation and destruction of swarms using a nonlinear Boltzmann–like equation. We introduce a new model that contains parameters characterizing the attractiveness or repulsiveness of individuals. The model can represent both gregarious and solitarious behaviors. In the latter case we provide a mathematical analysis in the space homogeneous case. Moreover we identify relevant hydrodynamic limits on a formal way. We introduce some preliminary results in the case of gregarious behavior and we indicate open problems for further research. Finally , we provide numerical simulations to illustrate the ability of the model to represent formation or destruction of swarms
