This paper deals with the derivation of hybrid mathematical structures to describe the behavior of large systems of active particles by ordinary differential equations with stochastic coefficients whose evolution is modelled by equations of the mathematical kinetic theory. A preliminary analysis shows how the above tools can be used to model complex systems of interest in applied sciences, with special attention to the immune competition.

This paper deals with the development of new paradigms based on the methods of the mathematical kinetic theory for active particles to model the dynamics of large systems of interacting cells. Interactions are ruled, not only by laws of classical mechanics, but also by a few biological functions which are able to modify the above laws. The paper technically shows, also by reasoning on specific examples, how the theory can be applied to model large complex systems in biology. The last part of the paper deals with a critical analysis and with the indication of research perspectives concerning the challenging target of developing a biological-mathematical theory for the living matter.

This paper deals with the design of a nonequilibrium statistical mechanics theory developed to model large systems of interacting individuals. Interactions being ruled, not only by laws of classical mechanics, but also by some intelligent or organized behaviour. The paper technically shows, also by reasoning on specific examples, how the theory can be applied to model large complex systems in natural and applied sciences.

This paper develops a Hilbert type method to derive models at the macroscopic scale for large systems of several interacting living entities whose statistical dynamics at the microscopic scale is delivered by kinetic theory methods. The presentation is in three steps, where the first one presents the structures of the kinetic theory approach used toward the aforementioned analysis; the second step presents the mathematical method; while the third step provides a number of specific applications. The approach is focused on a simple system and with a binary mixture, where different time-space scalings are used. Namely, parabolic, hyperbolic, and mixed in the case of a mixture.

This paper deals with the modeling of the early stage of cancer phenomena, namely mutations, onset, progression of cancer cells, and their competition with the immune system. The mathematical approach is based on the kinetic theory of active particles developed to describe the dynamics of large systems of interacting cells, called active particles. Their microscopic state is modeled by a scalar variable which expresses the main biological function. The modeling focuses on an interpretation of the immune-hallmarks of cancer.

This paper presents a development of the so-called kinetic theory for active particles to the modeling of living, hence complex, systems localized in networks. The overall system is viewed as a network of interacting nodes, mathematical equations are required to describe the dynamics in each node and in the whole network. These interactions, which are nonlinearly additive, are modeled by evolutive stochastic games. The first conceptual part derives a general mathematical structure, to be regarded as a candidate towards the derivation of models, suitable to capture the main features of the said systems. An application on opinion formation follows to show how the theory can generate specific models.

This paper presents a revisiting, with developments, of the so-called kinetic theory for active particles, with the main focus on the modeling of nonlinearly additive interactions. The approach is based on a suitable generalization of methods of kinetic theory, where interactions are depicted by stochastic games. The basic idea consists in looking for a general mathematical structure suitable to capture the main features of living, hence complex, systems. Hopefully, this structure is a candidate towards the challenging objective of designing a mathematical theory of living systems. These topics are treated in the first part of the paper, while the second one applies it to specific case studies, namely to the modeling of crowd dynamics and of the immune competition.
