Optimal Control in a Novel Computer Virus Spread Model

This paper proposes a computer virus spread model with optimal control, which is intended to keep low both infected nodes and systemic cost levels. The existence and uniqueness of the results concerning the optimality system are proved. Finally, numerical results show that the spread of computer virus can be controlled effectively with proper control strategy.
