Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The paper investigates the stability of an infection-free almost periodic solution of an impulsive SIR model describing the spread of infection in biological systems or vulnerability to malicious software in computer networks. The model accounts for impulsive perturbations interpreted as vaccination or antivirus updates occurring at nonperiodic moments in time. The existence and asymptotic stability of an almost periodic solution are proved under certain conditions imposed on the sequence of impulses and the time intervals between them. The analysis is based on the theory of impulsive differential equations and almost periodic functions, employing Lyapunov stability criteria for the corresponding linearized system. The obtained results generalize known periodic cases and provide a theoretical foundation for constructing robust control strategies in nonlinear impulsive systems arising in epidemiological and cybernetic models.
