Environmental memory facilitates search with home returns

A Altshuler, OL Bonomo, N Gorohovsky, S Marchini… - Physical Review …, 2024 - APS
Search processes in the natural world are often punctuated by home returns that reset the
position of foraging animals, birds, and insects. Many theoretical, numerical, and …

Noisy pursuit and pattern formation of self-steering active particles

S Goh, RG Winkler, G Gompper - New Journal of Physics, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider a moving target and an active pursing agent, modeled as an intelligent active
Brownian particle capable of sensing the instantaneous target location and adjusting its …

Bernoulli trial under restarts: A comparative study of resetting transitions

RK Singh, T Sandev, S Singh - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
A Bernoulli trial describing the escape behavior of a lamb to a safe haven in pursuit by a lion
is studied under restarts. The process ends in two ways: either the lamb makes it to the safe …

Social dilemma in foraging behavior and evolution of cooperation by learning

N Lee, S Chae, SK Baek, HC Jeong - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
We consider foraging behaviors in a two-dimensional continuum space and show that a
cooperative chasing strategy can emerge in a social dilemma. Predators can use two …

Non-Markovian and Collective Search Strategies

H Meyer, H Rieger - arXiv preprint arXiv:2311.05403, 2023 - arxiv.org
Agents searching for a target can improve their efficiency by memorizing where they have
already been searching or by cooperating with other searchers and using strategies that …

Pursuit problem with a stochastic prey that sees its chasers

M Su, D Bernardi, B Lindner - New Journal of Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
A recent stochastic pursuit model describes a pack of chasers (hounds) that actively move
toward a target (hare) that undergoes pure Brownian diffusion (Bernardi and Lindner 2022 …

Stochastic resetting can optimize the intermittent search strategy in a two-dimensional confined topography

J Liu - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2024 - Elsevier
Based on the intermittent two-state random walk model, by calculating and discussing the
mean first capture time, the search efficiency of the intermittent search strategy in a two …

Collective behaviors emerging from chases and escapes

T Ohira - Artificial Life and Robotics, 2024 - Springer
Abstract “Chases and Escapes” is a classical mathematical problem. Recently, we proposed
a simple extension, called “Group Chase and Escape,” where one group chases another …

Escape of a lamb to safe haven in pursuit by a lion under restarts

RK Singh, T Sandev, S Singh - arXiv preprint arXiv:2305.01601, 2023 - arxiv.org
We study the escape behavior of a lamb to safe haven pursued by a hungry lion. Identifying
the system with a pair of vicious Brownian walkers we evaluate the probability density …

Hares and hounds

A Anirban - Nature Reviews Physics, 2022 - nature.com
The predator–prey behaviour of animals has inspired a branch of mathematics called pursuit-
evasion theory. Using simulations, it is possible to calculate the optimal strategy of a pack of …
