Abstract

We continue our study of hydrodynamic models of self-organized evolution of agents with singular interaction kernel ϕ(x)=x(1+α)\phi(x) = |x|^{-(1+\alpha)}. Following our works \cite{ST2017a,ST2017b} which focused on the range 1α<21\leq \alpha <2, and Do et. al. \cite{DKRT2017} which covered the range 0<α<10<\alpha<1, in this paper we revisit the latter case and give a short(-er) proof of global in time existence of smooth solutions, together with a full description of their long time dynamics. Specifically, we prove that starting from any initial condition in (ρ0,u0)H2+α×H3(\rho_0,u_0) \in H^{2+\alpha}\times H^3, the solution approaches exponentially fast to a flocking state solution consisting of a wave ρˉ=ρ(xtuˉ))\bar{\rho}=\rho_\infty(x-t\bar{u})) traveling with a constant velocity determined by the conserved average velocity uˉ\bar{u}. The convergence is accompanied by exponential decay of all higher order derivatives of uu.
