Density-Independent Model of Self-Propelled Particles    [PDF]

Daniel Schubring, Paul R. Ohmann
We examine a density-independent modification of the Vicsek model in which a particle interacts with neighbors defined by Delaunay triangulation. To feasibly simulate the model, an algorithm for repairing the triangulation over time was developed. This model exhibits a continuous phase transition with noise, and a distinct set of critical exponents were measured which satisfy a hyperscaling relationship. The critical exponents are found to vary between a low and high velocity regime, but they are robust under the inclusion of a repulsive interaction. We present evidence that the correlation length approximately scales with the size of the system even in the ordered phase.
