In this paper, we deal with a Cucker-Smale model with time-dependent time delay and communication failures. Namely, we investigate the situation in which the agents involved in a flocking process can possibly suspend the exchange of…

We study a Cucker-Smale-type system with time delay in which agents interact with each other through normalized communication weights. We construct a Lyapunov functional for the system and provide sufficient conditions for asymptotic…

We derive an explicit form for the Cucker-Smale (CS) model on the special orthogonal group $\mathrm{SO}(3)$ by identifying closed form expressions for geometric quantities such as covariant derivative and parallel transport in exponential…

The paper introduces a model of collective behavior where agents receive information only from sufficiently dense crowds in their immediate vicinity. The system is an asymmetric, density-induced version of the Cucker-Smale model with…

Collision avoidance is an interesting feature of the Cucker-Smale (CS) model of flocking that has been studied in many works, e.g. [1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 20, 21, 22]. In particular, in the case of singular interactions between agents, as is the…

In this paper, we study the singular Cucker-Smale (C-S) model on the real line. For long range case, i.e. $\beta<1$, we prove the uniqueness of the solution in the sense of Definition 2.1 and the unconditional flocking emergence. Moreover,…

We study the (hydro-)dynamics of multi-species driven by alignment. What distinguishes the different species is the protocol of their interaction with the rest of the crowd: the collective motion is described by different communication…

We study a variant of the Cucker-Smale model where information between agents propagates with a finite speed $\mathfrak{c}>0$. This leads to a system of functional differential equations with state-dependent delay. We prove that, if…

We consider a hydrodynamic model of flocking-type with all-to-all interaction kernel in a periodic domain in one-space dimension with linear pressure term. The main result is the global existence of periodic entropy weak solutions, for…

We theoretically describe the dynamics of swimmer populations confined in thin liquid films. We first demonstrate that hydrodynamic interactions between confined swimmers only depend on their shape and are independent of their specific…

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…
