| Pairwise particle interactions arise in diverse biological systems ranging from insect
swarms and flocking, to self-assembly of nanoparticles. Under the influence of a
long-range attraction and short-range repulsion social interaction kernel particle systems may exhibit rich patterns in there bound states. In this talk we present a theory to classify the morphology of various patterns in N dimensions from a given social intereaction force. We also present a method to solve the inverse problem: Given an observed pattern, can we construct a social interaction potential which exhibits that pattern. |
