Collective behaviors of second-order nonlinear consensus models with a bonding force

Abstract

We present two types of nonlinear second-order consensus models with bonding controls, namely the Kuramoto model and the Cucker-Smale model with inter-particle bonding force, and study their emergent collective dynamics. The proposed models contain feedback control terms enforcing aggregation and bonding. Through the cooperative interplays between feedback controls, initial state configuration evolves to an ordered configuration asymptotically under suitable frameworks which are formulated in terms of system parameters and initial configurations.
