Evolution algebras and dynamical systems of a worm propagation model

Abstract

ABSTRACT We consider an evolution algebra identifying the coefficients of SIS–SIR worm propagation models as the structure constants of the algebra. The basic properties of this algebra are studied. We prove that it is a commutative (and hence flexible), not associative and baric algebra. We describe the full set of idempotent elements and the full set of absolute nilpotent elements. We find all the fixed points of the dynamical systems. We also study several properties of the algebra connecting them to dynamical systems.
