Random Walk of Foraging
I. Grabec and A. E. Sok

The model of vibration driven random walk is adapted to description of foraging performed by simple organisms. Stochastic properties of foraging are described by the Gaussian random number generator, while the attraction of food is represented by a deterministic signal that directs walkers from surroundings to the food. This attraction causes transition from the Gaussian random walk to the Levy flight.

Key words: random walk, foraging, simulation of trajectories, Gaussian and Levy distribution
