Abstract:This article investigates the chaotic dynamical characteristics of a discrete-time social foraging swarm model in which the individuals move in a ddimensional space according to an attractant/repellent or a nutrient profile. The collective behavior of the swarm model results from the balance between interindividual interactions and the simultaneous interactions of the swarm members with their environment. Analysis undertaken in the paper indicates that chaos can be introduced into the system by tuning the para… Show more
