Emergent behaviors in group ring flocks

Abstract

In this paper, we present a first-order aggregation model on a group ring and investigate its asymptotic dynamics. In a positive coupling strength regime, we show that the flow generated by the proposed model approaches to an equilibrium manifold asymptotically using a nonlinear functional and LaSalle invariance principle. Moreover, we also verify that equilibrium manifold's structure is strongly dependent on the structure of an underlying group structure.
