Abstract

Swarming behavior in systems of self-propelled particles, whether biological or artificial, has garnered significant attention in recent years. In this study, we demonstrate that even a small number of particles exhibiting anomalous behavior can significantly alter the collective dynamics of a swarming system, leading to unusual behaviors and transitions between dynamic states. Our findings pave the way for practical approaches and new concepts in multi-agent dynamics within groups of flocking animals such as birds, insects, and fish, representing active and living soft matter.

The study was supported by the Russian Science Foundation, Grant No. 20-72-10161.
