Complete classification of the asymptotical behavior for singular C-S model on the real line

Abstract

In this paper, we study the singular Cucker-Smale (C-S) model on the real line. For long range case, i.e. β<1, we prove the uniqueness of the solution in the sense of Definition 2.1 and the unconditional flocking emergence. Moreover, the sufficient and necessary condition for collision and sticking phenomenon will be provided. For short range case, i.e. β>1, we construct the uniform-in-time lower bound of the relative distance between particles and provide the sufficient and necessary condition for the emergence of multi-cluster formation. For critical case, i.e. β=1, we show the uniform lower bound of the relative distance and unconditional flocking emergence. These results provide a complete classification of the collective behavior for C-S model on the real line.
