We study the emergent flocking behavior in a group of Cucker-Smale flocking agents under rooted leadership with alternating leaders. It is well known that the network topology regulates the emergent behaviors of flocks. All existing results on the Cucker-Smale model with leader-follower topologies assume a fixed leader during temporal evolution process. The rooted leadership is the most general...

Through the use of a virtual tractor-trailer link model, vehicle following capabilities have been implemented without the need of communications links between the two vehicles or the installation of special road infrastructure. The principle is based on the modeling of an off-hooked trailer system as a software link between the lead and led vehicles. The leader vehicle is modeled as the tractor...

The analysis is placed in the context of a dynamic closed-loop Stackelberg game with private information. The case of a risk-neutral leader, very often discussed in the literature, is only a borderline possibility in the present study. Each player ...

Based on these definitions and facets of the internal ...
