We investigate a Cucker-Smale-type flocking model for multi-agent systems that move with constant speed. The model incorporates both kinematic observables and internal energy (temperatures) in the agents' interactions. Traditionally,…

We present pathwise flocking dynamics and local sensitivity analysis for the Cucker-Smale(C-S) model with random communications and initial data. For the deterministic communications, it is well known that the C-S model can model emergent…

The Cucker-Smale flocking model belongs to a wide class of kinetic models that describe a collective motion of interacting particles that exhibit some specific tendency e.g. to aggregate, flock or disperse. The paper examines the kinetic…

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…
