Abstract:

Dealing with the fixed-time flocking issue is one of the most challenging problems for a Cucker–Smale-type self-propelled particle model. In this article, the fixed-time flocking is established by employing a fixed-time stability theorem when the communication weight function has a positive infimum. Compared with the initial condition-based finite-time stability, an upper bound of the settling time in this paper is merely dependent on the design parameters. Moreover, the size of the final flocking can be estimated by the number of particles and the initial states of the system. In addition, a sufficient condition is formulated to guarantee that all particles do not collide during the process of the flocking. These results can give a reasonable explanation to some flocking phenomena such as bird flocks, fish schools, or human group behaviors. Finally, three numerical examples are granted to display the performance of the obtained results.
