This paper proposes a mathematical model to investigate the dynamic behaviors of a modified computer virus model using the Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivative in the Caputo sense, aiming to elucidate the connection between its parameters and network attributes. By introducing a relatively new numerical method, we address the memory-dependent and nonlocal features of the system. The existence and uniqueness of the model’s solution are confirmed. To explore solution trajectories and assess the impact of various input factors on computer virus dynamics, we employ an efficient numerical technique. Our simulations provide insights into the consequences of fractional order, anti-virus measures, asymptotic fraction, damage rate, and removal rate in the system. These findings illuminate the relationships between model parameters, facilitating the design of networks that minimize the risk of virus outbreaks and prevent future cyber threats. By identifying critical factors involved in the progression of viruses, these results enable the development of more effective defense mechanisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recurrence lacunarity has been recently proposed to detect dynamical state transitions over various temporal scales. In this paper, we combine suggested distribution moments and introduce multifractal recurrence lacunarity to unearth rich information of trajectories in phase space. By considering generalized moments, it provides an enhanced measurement to account for differences of black pixels in the recurrence plot at various scales. Numerical simulations have proved that the proposed method is able to differentiate varying types of time series and provide further insights of inherent features including stochastic series, chaotic maps and series contaminated interference components. In real-world applications, it performs well on quantifying the subtle structural changes of financial time series. In addition, it is intriguing to confirm that corrugation signals possess much more vivid information of heterogeneity in terms of recurrence plots than normal ones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
