Hyperbolic and Kinetic Models for Self-organised Biological Aggregations

This book focuses on the spatio-temporal patternsgenerated by twoclasses of mathematical models (of hyperbolicand kinetic types) that havebeen increasingly used in the past several years to describe various biological andecological communities. Here we combine an overview of various modelling approaches for collective behaviours displayed by individuals/cells/bacteria thatinteractlocally and non-locally, with analytical and numericalmathematical techniquesthat can be used to investigate the spatio-temporal patterns produced by said individuals/cells/bacteria. Richly illustrated, the book offers a valuable guide for researchers new tothefield, and is also suitable as a textbook for seniorundergraduateor graduate students in mathematics or related disciplines.
