Computer worms are serious threats to Internet security and have caused billions of dollars of economic losses during the past decades. In this study, we implemented a susceptible–infected–recovered–dead (SIRD) model of computer worms and analyzed the characteristics and mechanisms of worm transmission. We applied the ordinary differential equation model to simulate the transmission process of computer worms and estimated the unknown parameters of the SIRD model through the methods of least squares, Markov chain Monte Carlo, and ensemble Kalman filtering (ENKF). The results reveal that the proposed SIRD model is more accurate than the susceptible–exposed–infected–recovered–susceptible model with respect to parameter estimation.

Abstract The identification of parameters in an experimental two-well chaotic system is presented. The method involves the extraction of periodic orbits from a chaotic set. The form of the differential-equation model is assumed, with unknown coefficients on the terms in the model. The harmonic-balance method is applied to these periodic orbits, resulting in a linear equation in the unknown parameters, which can then be solved in the least-squares sense. The identification process reveals the nonlinear force-displacement characteristic of the oscillator. The results are cross-checked with various sets of extracted periodic orbits. The model is validated by examining simulated responses.

In this study, we established a two-dimensional logistic differential equation model to study the number of visits in Chinese PHCIs and hospitals based on the behavior of patients. We determine the model's equilibrium points and analyze their stability and then use China medical services data to fit the unknown parameters of the model. Finally, the sensitivity of model parameters is evaluated to determine the parameters that are susceptible to influence the system. The results indicate that the system corresponds to the zero-equilibrium point, the boundary equilibrium point, and the positive equilibrium point under different parameter conditions. We found that, in order to substantially increase visits to PHCIs, efforts should be made to improve PHCI comprehensive capacity and maximum service capacity.

We propose a stochastic compartmental model for the population dynamics of tuberculosis. The model is applicable to crowded environments such as for people in high density camps or in prisons. We start off with a known ordinary differential equation model, and we impose stochastic perturbation. We prove the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions of a stochastic model. We introduce an invariant generalizing the basic reproduction number and prove the stability of the disease-free equilibrium when it is below unity or slightly higher than unity and the perturbation is small. Our main theorem implies that the stochastic perturbation enhances stability of the disease-free equilibrium of the underlying deterministic model. Finally, we perform some simulations to illustrate the analytical findings and the utility of the model.

This paper proposes a new type of fractional differential equation model, named time fractional differential equation model, in which noise term is included in the time derivative order. The new model is applied to anomalous relaxation and diffusion processes suffering noisy field. The analysis and numerical simulation results show that our model can well describes the feature of these processes. We also find that the scale parameter and the frequency of the noise play a crucial role in the behaviors of these systems. At the end, we recognize some potential applications of this new model.
