Abstract

In this paper, applying Lyapunov functional techniques to nonresident computer virus models, we establish global dynamics of the model whose threshold parameter is the basic reproduction number R0 such that the virus‐free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when R0 ≤ 1, and the infected equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when R0 > 1 under the same restricted condition on a parameter, which appeared in the literature on delayed susceptible‐infected‐recovered‐susceptible (SIRS) epidemic models. We use new techniques on permanence and global stability of this model for R0 > 1. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
