Casting the Swarms Problem in the Ensembles Context

Öz

Robotic swarms have been modeled in a myriad of ways. One property of the swarms is their multitude. As their numbers increase to uncountable numbers, the thermostatistical mechanics may come into play. Authors took advantage of this fact so as to generate global statistics for the swarm. Three distinct ensembles are explained and formulated. When isolated, the swarms behave as if microcanonical ensemble reigns. But when a predator or a prey appears, transitions are observed depending on the conditions. Therefore, both the formulations and the transitions are all contingent. Finally, observed probabilities were discussed.

Sürüler Probleminin Topluluk Bağlamı Açısından Modellenmesi

Öz

Sürü robotları yüzlerce farklı şekilde modellenmiştir. Kalabalık olmaları sürülerin bir özelliğidir. Sayılamayacak kadar çok sayıya ulaştıklarında, termo-istatiksel mekanik devreye girebilir. Yazarlar bu avantajı kullanarak sürü robotları için evrensel istatistik oluşturmak istediler. Üç temel topluluk açıklandı ve formüle edildi. Sürüler izole edildiklerinde mikrokanonik uyum ortama hakim olurken, ortama av veya avcı girişi olur ise, duruma bağlı olarak değişimler gözlemlenir. Bu yüzden formulasyonlar ve geçişler şarta bağlıdır. Son olarak gözlemlenen olasılıklar tartışıldı.
