Phase transitions on a class of generalized Vicsek-like models of collective motion

Systems composed of interacting self-propelled particles (SPPs) display different forms of order-disorder phase transitions relevant to collective motion. In this paper we propose a generalization of the Vicsek model characterized by an angular noise term following an arbitrary probability density function, which might depend on the state of the system and thus have a multiplicative character. We show that the well established vectorial Vicsek...
