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

Mathematical models of the infection spread dynamics have remained a relevant area of research for the past few decades. Moreover, these models have also proven to be suitable for modeling DDoS attacks in computer networks. The qualitative behaviour of solutions in such models is usually arranged as follows: there is some threshold value at which the global asymptotic stability of the solution with a zero component, which is responsible for the number of infected individuals, changes to the stability of the non-zero equilibrium position. From a meaningful point of view, this means that the self-exhaustion and disappearance of the infection changes to a constant circulation of the infection in the population. However, the presence of an impulsive perturbation can make the infection-free solution asymptotically stable regardless of the threshold value, and such impulsive perturbations allow a natural interpretation within the framework of the epidemiological model as the process of vaccination of a certain part of individuals. Such problems have already been considered for the SIR- and SEIR-models in the case of a simple structure of impulsive points, due to which the impulsive problem was actually reduced to a problem without impulsive perturbation. However, a more complex structure of the set and magnitudes of impulsive effects requires the application of the theory of impulsive differential equations, which is done in this work. Namely, the article considers the SEIR-system of differential equations with impulsive perturbations that have an almost periodic character. The existence and properties of an infection-free impulsive almost periodic solution are investigated, and its asymptotic stability is proven.
