Optimal Control through Leadership of the Cucker and Smale Flocking Model with Time Delays

Figure 2

The simulation of the leadership of CS model with time delay for one leader and nine followers in two dimensions. Parameters in the connectivity function are chosen as and leader interaction force is given as . (a)–(c) present the positions of the agents and their velocities at time , , , respectively. The circles represent the positions of each agent and the shaded circle denotes the leader. (d) shows trajectories of agents in . (a) Initial configuration. (b) . (c) . (d) Trajectories of agents.
