Existence of Weak Solutions to Kinetic Flocking Models

Abstract: Abstract. We establish the global existence of weak solutions to a class of kinetic flocking equations. The models under conideration include the kinetic Cucker-Smale equation [6,7] with possibly non-symmetric flocking potential, the Cucker-Smale equation with additional strong local alignment, and a newly proposed model by Motsch and Tadmor [14]. The main tools employed in the analysis are the velocity averaging lemma and the Schauder fixed point theorem along with various integral bounds.

“…In the presence of diffusion, the global-in-time existence classical solutions around the global Maxwellian was obtained in [12]. We basically take a similar strategy as in [20] and develop it to handle the additional terms, confinement and interaction potentials, in order to provide the details of proof of Theorem 4.1.…”

“…Also, there are lots of literature about the kinetic equations for CS type models and their hydrodynamic limits. 11,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36] In this paper, we first analyze the unconditional flocking behavior for a weighted MT model (see (6)). We also consider flocking behavior for a model with a "tail" (see (21) and Lemmas 2.1 and 2.2).…”

“…An interesting feature of the C-S model is that it exhibits a phase-like transition from disordered states to ordered states, depending on the spatial decay rate β of the communication weight ψ. Indeed, Cucker and Smale [10] derived sufficient conditions for global flocking in terms of the initial configuration and communication weight, and these results were further improved in [15,16] (see [18,19,20] for generalized particle and kinetic C-S models). However, when the number of particles is sufficiently large, system (2.1) can be described effectively by the one-particle density function f = f (x, ξ, t) at the spatial velocity position (x, ξ) ∈ R d × R d at time t > 0, which has been obtained in the mean-field limit.…”
