SUMMARY:Perlen-Kolloquium: Eitan Tadmor (University of Maryland & ETH-ITS)
DESCRIPTION:Self-organization  is  observed  in  systems  driven  by  the  
 “social  engagement”of  agents  with  their  local  neighbors.  Protot
 ypical  models  are  found  in  opinion  dynamics\,  flocking\,self-organi
 zation of biological organisms\, and rendezvous in mobile networks.We disc
 uss the emergent behavior of such systems. Two natural questions arise in 
 this context. The underlying  issue  of  the  first  question  is  how  di
 fferent  rules  of  engagement  influence  the  formation of clusters\, an
 d in particular\, the emergence of ‘consensus’. Different paradigms of
  emergence yield different  patterns\,  depending  on  the  propagation  o
 f  connectivity  of  the  underlying  graphs  of  communication. The secon
 d question involves different descriptions of self-organized dynamics when
  the number of agents tends to infinity. It lends itself to “social hydr
 odynamics”\, driven by the corresponding tendency to move towards the lo
 cal means.We discuss the global regularity of social hydrodynamics for sub
 -critical initial configurations.
