The model highlights individual heterogeneity, especially including heterogeneous transmission delays among agents and heterogeneous parameters called tracking strategies that establish a trade-off between alignment and tracking for each agent, and essentially determine the leader–follower structure of the system. By constructing dynamic upper bounds of velocity, setting tracking periods and partitioning state space, a time-varying tracking strategy vector is designed to produce a dynamic leader–follower structure in which the system has a flexible configuration and can achieve flocking tracking for any initial state. The increase of transmission delay prolongs the switching cycle of leader–follower structure, and decreases the convergence speed of the system.

Then, for inference, we aim to learn the operators of a model by setting up an appropriate optimization problem. One of the critical properties of dynamical systems is <em>stability</em>. However, this property is not guaranteed by the inferred models. In this work, we propose inference formulations to learn quadratic models, which are stable by design.

Using those parameterizations, we set up inference problems, which are then solved using a gradient-based optimization method.

Yet, several fundamental aspects remain unclear. One of them is the self-similar evolution of the instability. Studies have assumed that non-linear MRTI has a self-similar, quadratic growth similar to hydrodynamic (HD) RTI. However, neither self-similarity nor quadratic growth has been proved analytically. Furthermore, an explicit understanding of the factors that control the growth of non-linear instability remains unclear. Magnetic fields are known to play a crucial role in the evolution of the instability. Yet, a systematic study discussing how the magnetic field influences the instability growth is missing. These issues were addressed by performing an analytical and numerical study of the MRTI with a uniform magnetic field. Our study reveals that the imposed magnetic field does not conform to the HD self-similar evolution.
