Abstract

We extend the analysis developed in Pignotti and Reche Vallejo (J Math Anal Appl 464:1313–1332, 2018) [34] in order to prove convergence to consensus results for a Cucker–Smale type model with hierarchical leadership and distributed delay. Flocking estimates are obtained for a general interaction potential with divergent tail. We analyze also the model when the ultimate leader can change its velocity. In this case we give a flocking result under suitable conditions on the leader’s acceleration.
