A Sparse Bayesian Learning Algorithm for Estimation of Interaction Kernels in Motsch-Tadmor Model

arXiv:2505.07068v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the data-driven identification of asymmetric interaction kernels in the Motsch-Tadmor model based on observed trajectory data. The model under consideration is governed by a class of semilinear evolution equations, where the interaction kernel defines a normalized, state-dependent Laplacian operator that governs collective dynamics. To address the resulting nonlinear inverse problem, we propose a variational framework that reformulates kernel identification using the implicit form of the governing equations
