Self-propelled particles with selective attraction–repulsion interaction: from microscopic dynamics to coarse-grained theories

In this work we derive and analyse coarse-grained descriptions of self-propelled particles with selective attraction–repulsion interaction, where individuals may respond differently to their neighbours depending on their relative state of motion (approach versus movement away). Based on the formulat...
