Abstract: We prove the existence of weak solutions to kinetic flocking model with cut-off interaction function by using Schauder fixed pointed theorem and velocity averaging lemma. Under the natural assumption that the velocity support of the initial distribution function is bounded, we show that the velocity support of the distribution function is uniformly bounded in time. Employing this property, we remove the constraint in the paper of Karper, Mellet and Trivisa[SIAM. J. Math. Anal., (45)2013, pp.215-243] that the initial distribution function should have better integrability for large $$.
