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…

In resent years, Vicsek model has attracted more and more attention and been well developed. However, the in-depth analysis on the convergence time are scarce thus far. In this paper, we study some certain factors that mainly govern the…

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…

In this paper we prove global existence of weak solutions, their regularization, and relaxation for large data for a broad class of Fokker-Planck-Alignment models which appear in collective dynamics. The main feature of these results, as…

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…

We propose a non-equilibrium continuum dynamical model for the collective motion of large groups of biological organisms (e.g., flocks of birds, slime molds, etc.) Our model becomes highly non-trivial, and different from the equilibrium…

Speed fluctuations of individual birds in natural flocks are moderate, due to the aerodynamic and biomechanical constraints of flight. Yet the spatial correlations of such fluctuations are scale-free, namely they have a range as wide as the…

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…

We provide a bird's eye view on developments in analyzing the long time, large crowd behavior of Cucker-Smale alignment dynamics. We consider a class of (fully-)discrete models, paying particular attention to general alignment protocols in…

We present a sufficient condition of the complete position flocking theorem for the Cucker-Smale type model on the unit sphere with an inter-particle bonding force. For this second order dynamical system derived in [Choi, S.-H., Kwon, D.…

We study quantitative estimates for the flocking and uniform-time classical limit to the relativistic Cucker-Smale (in short RCS) model introduced in \cite{Ha-Kim-Ruggeri-ARMA-2020}. Different from previous works, we do not neglect the…

Efficient collective response to external perturbations is one of the most striking abilities of a biological system. Signal propagation through the group is an important condition for the imple- mentation of such a response. Information…

We consider a perturbed version of the dynamics of a flock introduced by Cucker and Smale ("Emergent behaviour in flocks") and prove, under similar conditions, that nearly-alignment (a concept that is precised in the text) is achieved with…

UAV collective motion has become a hot research topic in recent years. The realization of UAV collective motion, however, relied heavily on centralized control method and suffered from instability. Inspired by bird flocking theory, a…

We study a model of flocking in order to describe the transitions during the collective motion of organisms in three dimensions (e.g., birds). In this model the particles representing the organisms are self-propelled, i.e., they move with…

We derive a new method to infer from data the out-of-equilibrium alignment dynamics of collectively moving animal groups, by considering the maximum entropy distribution consistent with temporal and spatial correlations of flight direction.…
