Spectral method for a kinetic swarming model

Abstract: In this paper we present the first numerical method for a kinetic description of the Vicsek swarming model. The kinetic model poses a unique challenge, as there is a distribution dependent collision invariant to satisfy when computing the interaction term. We use a spectral representation linked with a discrete constrained optimization to compute these interactions. To test the numerical scheme we investigate the kinetic model at different scales and compare the solution with the microscopic and macroscopic de… Show more

“…The 2D scheme of moment system is used to solve three Riemann problems and a vortex formation problem and will be compared to the spectral method proposed in [13]. For our computations, the computational domain of Riemann problems in x-direction is taken as [−5, 5], the CFL number is chosen as 0.5, and the value of parameter σ is set as 0.2.…”

“…In the numerical computations, J (t, x) can be considered within the approximation (2.4) because the spatial mesh stepsize may be smaller than the radius of ball B(0, R) [13]. It has been shown [14] that the non-linear kinetic equation (2.1) with (2.2) and (2.3) or (2.4) has a non-negative global weak solution in C(0, T ;…”

“…Several schemes have already been proposed to study the kinetic equation (4) using spectral method [15], discontinuous Galerkin [13] or semi-Lagrangian [11]. However, we are now interested in the long time behavior of the solution, thus we would like to design a numerical scheme with several properties:…”

“…To first investigate our numerical scheme, we study the homogeneous equation, thus solving only the collision operator (15). We present our numerical experiments with the Vicsek model (4), however results are similar with the DFL dynamics except that the time step ∆t may have to be adapted (since the CFL condition depends on |j| which varies over time).…”
