Mathematically modeling the rules of herd behavior

Research

Self-organization phenomena, in which individual elements interact to create order within the whole, are widely observed in nature and social systems. Through mathematical modeling, I aim to elucidate the core principles of self-organization phenomena and, based on these principles, construct "rational" autonomous distributed control methods applicable to various systems.
