  • Abstract
    We consider a second order non-linear consensus (flocking) network of a finite population of autonomous agents and prove that the long term behavior of its solution is towards a common value while the flock remains connected. We elevate the analysis to a collision avoidance type flocking after taking into consideration repelling forces between agents.
