This paper is concerned with a singular Cucker–Smale model with a general targeted pattern driving force, which ensures that the particles finally come to the desired spatial configuration. Under some suitable conditions, we prove that the exponent α ≥ 1 in the communication weight leads to global regularity of solutions so that the system has an asymptotic flocking without collision between any agent. As an example, a prescribed driving force is given to demonstrate that the particles finally come to a line-shaped formation with collision a...
