We discuss the Cucker-Smale's (C-S) particle model for flocking, deriving precise conditions for flocking to occur when pairwise interactions are sufficiently strong long range. We then derive a Vlasov-type kinetic model for the C-S…

In this work, we discuss kinetic descriptions of flocking models, of the so-called Cucker-Smale and Motsch-Tadmor types. These models are given by Vlasov-type equations where the interactions taken into account are only given long-range…

We study the emergent behaviors of the weak solutions to the kinetic Cucker-Smale (in short, KCS) model in a non-compact spatial-velocity support setting. Unlike the compact support situation, non-compact support of a weak solution can…
