Abstract

We study kinetic representations of flocking models. They arise from agent-based models for self-organized dynamics, such as Cucker–Smale [Emergent behaviors in flocks, IEEE Trans. Autom. Control. 52 (2007) 852–862] and Motsch–Tadmor [A new model for self-organized dynamics and its flocking behavior, J. Statist. Phys. 144 (2011) 923– 947] models. We first establish a well-posedness theory and large-time flocking behavior for the kinetic systems, which indicates a concentration in velocity variable in infinite time. We then apply a discontinuous Galerkin method to treat the asymptotic \(\delta\)-singularity, and construct high-order positive-preserving schemes to solve kinetic flocking systems.
