A decision-making differential model for social insects

In this work we present a model for the phenomena of collective decision making in social insects using an $n$-dimensional system of differential equations. We perform a complete stability analysis for a special case in the model, and present numerical simulations to illustrate the behavior of the model in the more general case. The analysis shows that up to a range of values of the parameters in the model, different processes of decision-making in the social insects could be modelled by the same mathematical equations.
