A dynamic game played by N agents in one-dimensional motion is introduced and models, for instance, a foraging ant colony. Each agent controls its velocity to minimize its total work done in a finite time interval. The game is shown to have a Nash equilibrium that has all the features of a swarm behavior. © 2012 IFAC.EnglishDynamic gameForagingGame theoryNash equilibriumSwarmSwarming behaviorConference Paper10.3182/20120914-2-US-4030.00046
