- Title
Fractional Dynamics of Computer Virus Propagation.

- Abstract
We propose a fractional model for computer virus propagation. The model includes the interaction between computers and removable devices. We simulate numerically the model for distinct values of the order of the fractional derivative and for two sets of initial conditions adopted in the literature. We conclude that fractional order systems reveal richer dynamics than the classical integer order counterpart. Therefore, fractional dynamics leads to time responses with super-fast transients and superslow evolutions towards the steady-state, effects not easily captured by the integer order models.
