Uniform position alignment estimate of a spherical flocking model with inter-particle bonding forces

Sun-Ho Choi, Dohyun Kwon, Hyowon Seo

Abstract: Highlights•We establish the asymptotic rendezvous result with an exponential rate of decay.•The primary challenge lies in the absence of a conserved quantity.•We reformulate the Cucker-Smale-type flocking model as an inhomogeneous system.•By using inter-particle bonding and energy dissipation, we prove time-asymptotic flocking.
