Optimal consensus control of the Cucker-Smale model

We study the numerical realisation of optimal consensus control laws for agent-based models. For a nonlinear multi-agent system of Cucker-Smale type, consensus control is cast as a dynamic optimisation problem for which we derive first-order necessary optimality conditions. In the case of a smooth p...

description We study the numerical realisation of optimal consensus control laws for agent-based models. For a nonlinear multi-agent system of Cucker-Smale type, consensus control is cast as a dynamic optimisation problem for which we derive first-order necessary optimality conditions. In the case of a smooth penalisation of the control energy, the optimality system is numerically approximated via a gradient-descent method. For sparsity promoting, non-smooth l1-norm control penalisations, the optimal controllers are realised by means of heuristic methods. For an increasing number of agents, we discuss the approximation of the consensus control problem by following a mean-field modelling approach.
