Emergent behaviors of Cucker–Smale flocks on the hyperboloid

We study emergent behaviors of Cucker–Smale (CS) flocks on the hyperboloid Hd in any dimensions. In a recent work [Ha et al., J. Math. Phys. 61(4), 042701 (2020)], a first-order aggregation model on the hyperboloid was proposed and sufficient conditions for emergent dynamics were proposed in terms of initial configuration and system parameters. In this paper, we are interested in the second-order modeling of CS flocks on the hyperboloid. For this, we derive our second-order model from the abstract CS model on complete and smooth Riemannian manifolds via explicit identifications of geodesic and parallel transport. Velocity alignment has been shown by combining general velocity alignment estimates for the abstract CS model on manifolds and verifications of the a priori estimate of the second derivative of the energy functional. For the two-dimensional case H2, similar to the recent result by Ahn, Ha, and Shim [Kinet. Relat. Models 14(2), 323–351 (2021)], asymptotic flocking admits only two types of asymptotic scenarios, either convergence to a rest state or a state lying on the same plane (coplanar state). We also provide several numerical simulations to illustrate an aforementioned dichotomy on the asymptotic dynamics of the hyperboloid CS model on H2.
