They arise from agent-based models for self-organized dynamics, such as Cucker-Smale and Motsch-Tadmor models. We prove flocking behavior for the kinetic descriptions of flocking systems, which indicates a concentration in velocity variable in infinite time. We propose a discontinuous Galerkin method to treat the asymptotic $\\delta$-singularity, and construct high order positive preserving scheme to solve kinetic flocking systems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-09-19T03:48:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "65M60", "92C45" ], "keywords": [ "discontinuous galerkin method", "kinetic flocking models", "study kinetic representations", "high order positive preserving scheme", "flocking systems" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1409.5509T" } } }
