Abstract: Despite a long history and many results on motion by mean curvature and homogenization, there are still many interesting questions when these two problems are put together. This is a typical question of gradient flow on wiggly energy landscapes. The talk will revisit the problem of motion by…

A fascinating aspect of collective dynamics is self-organization of small scale interactions into high-order structures with larger-scale patterns. It is a characteristic feature of “social particles” which actively probe the environment and emerge in various types of clusters. In different…
