"A Mathematical Model for the Dynamics and Synchronization of Cows"

From the CABDyN Complexity Centre via arXiv.org:

Abstract

We formulate a mathematical model for daily activities of a cow (eating, lying down, and standing) in terms of a piecewise affine dynamical system. We analyze the properties of this bovine dynamical system representing the single animal and develop an exact integrative form as a discrete-time mapping. We then couple multiple cow "oscillators" together to study synchrony and cooperation in cattle herds....
