The purpose of the paper is to investigate the flocking behavior of the discrete-time Cucker-Smale(C-S) model under general interaction network topologies with agents having their free-will accelerations. We prove theoretically that if the free-will accelerations of agents are summable, then, for any given initial conditions, the solution achieves flocking with a finite moving speed by suitably choosing the time step as well as the communication rate of the system or the strength of the interaction between agents. In particular, if the communication rate $\beta$ of the system is subcritical, i.e., $\beta$ is less than a critical value $\beta_c$, then flocking holds for any initial conditions regardless of the strength of the interaction between agents. While, if the communication rate is critical ($\beta = \beta_c$) or supercritical ($\beta > \beta_c$), then flocking can only be achieved by making the strength of the interaction large enough. We also present some numerical simulations to support our obtained theoretical results.

(Subcritical) Numerical simulation for model Eq. (4) with the network given in Fig. 1. This simulation result shows the solution achieves flocking. Here parameters in Eq.

Numerical simulation for model Eq. (4) under the network provided in Fig. 1. This simulation result shows the solution does not achieve flocking. Here parameters in Eq. (4) are chosen as $\beta = 1$ (supercritical), $\kappa = 0.1$ and $\varepsilon = 0.001$. The initial conditions are randomly chosen and they satisfy $a\approx 0.2872$, $b\approx 0.2850$.
