Abstract: In this note, we present a multi-dimensional flocking model rigorously derived from a vector oscillatory chain model and study the connection between the Cucker-Smale flocking model and the Kuramoto synchronization model appearing in the statistical mechanics of nonlinear oscillators. We provide an alternative direct approach for frequency synchronization to the Kuramoto model as an application of the flocking estimate for the Cucker-Smale model.
