We study the large-time behavior of systems driven by radial potentials, which react to anticipated positions, \(\mathbf{x}^\tau (t)=\mathbf{x}(t)+\tau \mathbf{v}(t)\), with anticipation increment \(\tau >0\). As a special case, such yield celebrated Cucker–Smale model for alignment, coupled pairwise interactions. Viewed from this perspective, anticipation-driven are expected emerge into flocki...
