A mathematical theory on flocking serves the foundation for several ubiquitous multi-agent phenomena in biology, ecology, sensor networks, economy, as well as social behavior like language emergence and evolution. Directly inspired by the…
We investigate the emergent behavior of four types of generic dynamical systems under random environmental perturbations. Sufficient conditions for nearly-emergence in various scenarios are presented. Recent fundamental works of F. Cucker…
In this paper, we study the behavior of systems of individuals in confined environments that are driven by laws of self-organization. We propose that, under certain conditions, the long-term behavior of such systems will be global…
Understanding collective self-organization in active matter, such as bird flocks and fish schools, remains a grand challenge in physics. Interactions that induce alignment are essential for flocking; however, alignment alone is generally…
Consider a flock of birds that fly interacting between them. The interactions are modelled through a hierarchical system in which each bird, at each time step, adjusts its own velocity according to his past velocity and a weighted mean of…
In this chapter, we present the Cucker-Smale type flocking models, and discuss their mathematical structures and flocking theorems in terms of coupling strength, interaction topologies and initial data. In 2007, two mathematicians Felipe…
The well-known Cucker-Smale model is a macroscopic system reflecting flocking, i.e. the alignment of velocities in a group of autonomous agents having mutual interactions. In the present paper, we consider the mean-field limit of that…
We study the Cucker-Smale model with a velocity control function. The Cucker-Smale model design the emergence of consensus in terms of flocking. A proposed model encompasses several Cucker-Smale models, such as a speed limit model, a…
We introduce a Cucker-Smale-type model for flocking, where the strength of interaction between two agents depends on their relative separation (called "topological distance" in previous works), which is the number of intermediate…
Natural flocks (aligned) and swarms (non-aligned) both exhibit features of near-criticality, challenging their treatment as two ends of the same phase transition. We present a model for the aggregation of active individuals, in which their…
We first present a new stochastic version of the Cucker-Smale model of the emergent behavior in flocks in which the mutual communication between individuals is affected by random factor. Then, the existence and uniqueness of global solution…
We establish sufficient conditions for the quick relaxation to kinetic equilibrium in the classic Vicsek-Cucker-Smale model of bird flocking. The convergence time is polynomial in the number of birds as long as the number of flocks remains…
Consider a system of autonomous interacting agents moving in space, adjusting each own velocity as a weighted mean of the relative velocities of the other agents. In order to test the robustness of the model, we assume that each pair of…
We extend the analysis developed in [33] in order to prove convergence to consensus results for a Cucker-Smale type model with hierarchical leadership and distributed delay. Flocking estimates are obtained for a general interaction…
The hydrodynamic limit of a kinetic Cucker-Smale model is investigated. In addition to the free-transport of individuals and the Cucker-Smale alignment operator, the model under consideration includes a strong local alignment term. This…
Recent investigations have provided important insights into the complex structure and dynamics of collectively moving flocks of living organisms. Two intriguing observations are, scale-free correlations in the velocity fluctuations, in the…
Collective movement is observed widely in nature, where individuals interact locally to produce globally ordered, coherent motion. In typical models of collective motion, each individual takes the average direction of multiple neighbors,…
Flocking is a coordinated collective behavior that results from local sensing between individual agents that have a tendency to orient towards each other. Flocking is common among animal groups and might also be useful in robotic swarms. In…

We investigate the emergence of cohesive flocking in open, boundless space using a multi-agent reinforcement learning framework. Agents integrate positional and orientational information from their closest topological neighbours and learn…
