摘要

The study employs dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) to elucidate the underlying mechanisms contributing to the enhanced motility observed in sperm bundles, primarily focusing on the role of flagellar synchronization. The decomposition reveals that synchronized flagellar movements might be a key factor enabling sperm cells to attain higher velocities when connected in bundles. Through DMD, periodical characteristics of individual periodical motion patterns, such as frequency, amplitude, and modal growth/decay rates (from DMD eigenvalues), are characterized, elucidating main parameters of the dynamic behavior of these biological systems, such as dominant frequencies of periodical motion, as well as amplitudes and velocities. The implications of this research extend beyond understanding sperm bundle dynamics, as the methodology is adaptable for identifying healthy sperm cells based on their motility patterns. Additionally, the approach holds potential for broader applications in studying other flagellar-driven microorganisms, providing a valuable tool for comparative analysis across various species.
