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 particle model and prove it exhibits time-asymptotic flocking behavior for arbitrary compactly supported initial data. Finally, we introduce a hydrodynamic description of flocking based on the C-S Vlasov-type kinetic model and prove flocking behavior <em>without </em

We present a simple proof on the formation of flocking to the Cucker-Smale system based on the explicit construction of a Lyapunov functional. Our results also provide a unified condition on the initial states in which the exponential convergence to flocking state will occur. For large particle systems, we give a rigorous justification for the mean-field limit from the many particle Cucker-Smale system to the Vlasov equation with flocking dissipation as the number of particles goes to infinity.

We study a stochastic Cucker-Smale flocking system in which particles interact with the environment through white noise. We provide the definition of flocking for the stochastic system, and show that when the communication rate is constant, the system exhibits a flocking behavior independent of the initial configurations. For the case of a radially symmetric communication rate with a positive lower bound, we show that the relative fluctuations of the particle velocity around the mean velocity ha

In this note, we present a Cucker-Smale type flocking model with nonlinear velocity couplings, and derive sufficient conditions for the formation of flocking in terms of communication weight and initial spatial, velocity standard deviations.

We study the emergence of phase-locked states to the finite-dimensional Kuramoto model from generic initial configurations which are not phase-locked states in a large coupling regime.In the literature of physics and engineering, it has often been argued that complete synchronization may occur for a generic initial configuration in a large coupling regime.Such arguments are generally based on the results of numerical simulations.Unfortunately, this plausible scenario has not been completely veri

Synchronization of weakly coupled oscillators is ubiquitous in biological and chemical complex systems. Recently, research on collective dynamics of many-body systems has been received much attention due to their possible applications in engineering. In this survey paper, we mainly focus on the large-time dynamics of several synchronization models and review state-of-art results on the collective behaviors for synchronization models. Following a chronological order, we begin our discussion with

We present the mathematical analysis of bi-cluster flocking phenomenon for the short-ranged Cucker–Smale model with some well-prepared initial data. For this, we derive a system of differential inequalities for the functionals measuring the local spatial and velocity fluctuations and differences of local velocity averages, and then estimate the upper bound of spatial fluctuations and the lower bound of the difference between local velocity averages. We explicitly present an admissible class of i

We present a new hydrodynamic model for the interactions between collision-free Cucker–Smale flocking particles and a viscous incompressible fluid. Our proposed model consists of two hydrodynamic models. For the Cucker–Smale flocking particles, we employ the pressureless Euler system with a non-local flocking dissipation, whereas for the fluid, we use the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. These two hydrodynamic models are coupled through a drag force, which is the main flocking mechanism b

We study the synchronization of Kuramoto oscillators with adaptive coupling in interacting networks. Network dynamics preserves the sum of all incoming pairwise coupling strengths and is designed to adaptively interact with system dynamics. For adaptive couplings, we use two adaptive coupling laws for the pairwise coupling strength. Kuramoto oscillators are assumed to be on the nodes of the networks. We present frameworks that guarantee the emergence of synchronization for various coupling feedb

Global optimization of a non-convex objective function often appears in large-scale machine learning and artificial intelligence applications. Recently, consensus-based optimization (CBO) methods have been introduced as one of the gradient-free optimization methods. In this paper, we provide a convergence analysis for the first-order CBO method in [J. A. Carrillo, S. Jin, L. Li and Y.
