Functional Differential Equation Models collective behavioral analysis

I will give an overview of recent results for models of collective behavior governed by functional differential equations. The talk will focus on models of interacting agents with applications in biology (flocking, swarming), social sciences (opinion formation) and engineering (swarm robotics), where latency (delay) plays a significant role. I will explain that there are two main sources of delay - inter-agent communications and information processing
