Finite-time flocking with collision-avoiding problem of a modified Cucker-Smale model
Abstract
To achieve collision-avoiding flocking in finite time, a modified Cucker-Smale model with general inter-driving force is proposed. First, it is proved that the system can achieve conditional collision-avoiding flocking in finite time by imposing appropriate restrictions on the initial states. Moreover, a special case of the inter-driving force is demonstrated. Last, the correctness of the results is verified through numerical simulations.
