The dissemination of countermeasures is diffusely recognized as one of the most valid strategies of containing computer virus diffusion. In order to better understand the impacts of countermeasure and removable storage media on viral spread, this paper addresses a dynamical model, which incorporates nonlinear countermeasure probability and infected removable storage media. Theoretical analysis reveals that the unique (viral) equilibrium of the model is globally asymptotically stable. This main result is also illustrated by some numerical experiments. Additionally, the numerical experiments of different countermeasure probabilities are conducted.

All the known models describing the propagation of virus codes were based on the assumption that a computer is uninfected at the time it is being connected to the Internet. In reality, however, it is much likely that infected computers are connected to the Internet. This paper is intended to investigate the propagation behavior of virus programs provided infected computers are connected to the Internet with positive probability. For that purpose, a new model characterizing the spread of computer virus is proposed. Theoretical analysis of this model indicates that (1) there is a unique (viral) equilibrium, and (2) this equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. Further study shows that, by taking active measures, the percentage of infected computers can be made below an acceptable threshold value.

This paper examines the propagation behavior of computer virus under human intervention. A dynamical model describing the spread of computer virus, under which a susceptible computer can become recovered directly and an infected computer can become susceptible directly, is proposed. Through a qualitative analysis of this model, it is found that the virus-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when the basic reproduction numberR0≤1, whereas the viral equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable ifR0>1. Based on these results and a parameter analysis, some appropriate measures for eradicating the spread of computer virus across the Internet are recommended.

The dissemination of countermeasures is widely recognized as one of the most effective strategies of inhibiting malware propagation, and the study of general countermeasure and infection has an important and practical significance. On this point, a dynamical model incorporating generic nonlinear countermeasure and infection probabilities is proposed. Theoretical analysis shows that the model has a unique equilibrium which is globally asymptotically stable. Accordingly, a real network based on the model assumptions is constructed, and some numerical simulations are conducted on it. Simulations not only illustrate theoretical results but also demonstrate the reasonability of general countermeasure and infection.

With the rapid popularization of the Internet, computers can enter or leave the Internet increasingly frequently. In fact, no antivirus software can detect and remove all sorts of computer viruses. This implies that viruses would persist on the Internet. To better understand the spread of computer viruses in these situations, a new propagation model is established and analyzed. The unique equilibrium of the model is globally asymptotically stable, in accordance with the reality. A parameter analysis of the equilibrium is also conducted.

Computer Virus Propagation Model

Based on complex network, this paper proposes a novel computer virus propagation model which is motivated by the traditional SEIRQ model. A systematic analysis of this new model shows that the virus-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when its basic reproduction is less than one, and the viral equilibrium is globally attractive when the basic reproduction is greater than one. Some numerical simulations are finally given to illustrate the main results, implying that these results are applicable to depict the dynamics of virus propagation.

This paper considers the distributed 3-dimensional (3D) distance-based formation control of multiagent systems, where the agents are connected based on an acyclic minimally structural persistent (AMSP) graph. A parameter is designed according to the desired formation shape and is used to solve the problem that there are two formation shapes satisfying the same distance requirements. The unknown moving velocity of the leader agent is estimated adaptively by the followers requiring only the relative position measurements with respect to their local coordinate systems. In addition, the proposed formation controller provides a new way for the agent to leave the initial coplanar location. The 3D formation control law is globally asymptotically stable and has been demonstrated based on the Lyapunov theorem. Finally, two numerical simulations are presented to support the theoretical analysis.

Computer Virus Propagation Model

A new computer virus propagation model with delay and incomplete antivirus ability is formulated and its global dynamics is analyzed. The existence and stability of the equilibria are investigated by resorting to the threshold valueR0. By analysis, it is found that the model may undergo a Hopf bifurcation induced by the delay. Correspondingly, the critical value of the Hopf bifurcation is obtained. Using Lyapunov functional approach, it is proved that, under suitable conditions, the unique virus-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable ifR0<1, whereas the virus equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable ifR0>1. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate possible behavioral scenarios of the mode.

By piecewise Euler method, a discrete Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model with impulsive effect at fixed moment is proposed and investigated. By using Floquets theorem, we show that a globally asymptotically stable pest-eradication periodic solution exists when the impulsive period is less than some critical value. Further, we prove that the discrete system is permanence if the impulsive period is larger than some critical value. Finally, some numerical experiments are given.

This paper presents a novel mathematical model with multidrug-resistant (MDR) and undetected TB cases. The theoretical analysis indicates that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable ifR0<1; otherwise, the system may exist a locally asymptotically stable endemic equilibrium. The model is also used to simulate and predict TB epidemic in Guangdong. The results imply that our model is in agreement with actual data and the undetected rate plays vital role in the TB trend. Our model also implies that TB cannot be eradicated from population if it continues to implement current TB control strategies.

By incorporating an additional recovery compartment in the SLBS model, a new model, known as the SLBRS model, is proposed in this paper. The qualitative properties of this model are investigated. The result shows that the dynamic behavior of the model is determined by a thresholdℛ0. Specially, virus-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable ifℛ0≤1, whereas the viral equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable ifℛ0>1. Next, the sensitivity analysis ofℛ0to four system parameters is also analyzed. On this basis, a collection of strategies are advised for eradicating viruses spreading across the Internet effectively.
