Title:  Cucker-Smale Hierarchical Flocking and Continuum Swarming
 
Abstract:
  We explore the emergent behaviors of a Cucker-Smale flock under
hierarchical leadership, as well as in the continuum limit when
  flocking condenses to swarming.  It is shown that the long-range social
interactions (or forces) in the Cucker-Smale model often
  lead to robust convergence and stability, which are vital for maintaining
the order within a biological or robotic aggregation.
