| Popis: | 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 algorithm may also be applied to any time-varying two-dimensional Delaunay triangulation. 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. Comment: 11 pages, 16 figures |
