Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, titled “Modern Trends and Application of Decision-Making Theory, Stability and Control.” The present issue is devoted to recent advances in decision theory, stability theory, approximation theory, and control problems, as well as their interdisciplinary applications.

The growing interest in these topics is driven by the increasing complexity of modern mathematical models, which necessitate the use of information technologies, computer modeling, and simulation, along with the parallel development of both established and emerging theoretical approaches in these areas of mathematics.

In this Special Issue, we address problems related to Lyapunov stability and robust stability in evolutionary equations describing real-world phenomena; the existence and properties of limiting regimes and attracting sets in impulsive dynamical systems with mechanical applications; theoretical and practical aspects of approximation theory and numerical analysis; as well as optimal and adaptive control in nonlinear systems.

Our aim is to bring together contributions that reflect new trends and approaches in stability theory, approximation theory, control problems, and related topics.

We study the long-time behavior of nonlinear stochastic evolution equations in a separable Hilbert space driven by a Q-Wiener process. The linear part of the equation is generated by a strongly continuous semigroup with an exponential dichotomy, which provides fixed rates of decay and growth. The nonlinear drift and diffusion terms are globally Lipschitz and become small as time tends to infinity. Our main result shows that under these conditions, the mean-square Lyapunov exponents of the nonlinear system coincide with those of the linear part. In other words, nonlinear stochastic perturbations that decay in time do not change the main growth or decay rates of solutions in the mean-square sense. This result provides simple and verifiable criteria ensuring that the long-time Lyapunov behavior of the nonlinear stochastic equation is fully determined by the linear semigroup, even in the presence of time-dependent stochastic perturbations.

This paper proposes an impulsive SIRQ model for the analysis of computer network resilience against malware propagation and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. The model extends classical epidemic frameworks by combining the continuous-time dynamics of malicious object spreading with discrete control actions corresponding to mass updates, node isolation, and access control policies. A qualitative analysis of the resulting system of impulsive differential equations is performed. The basic reproduction number R0, identified as a threshold parameter characterizing the intensity of attack propagation, and sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of the infection-free state are established. It is shown that, under periodic impulsive control, the infection-free state can be stabilized with respect to the target population coordinates even when R0>1. An exponential decay estimate for the total active threat is derived, guaranteeing the asymptotic extinction of the infected and quarantined node populations. The proposed approach provides quantitative criteria for the effectiveness of impulsive cyber defense strategies and offers a theoretical foundation for the design of adaptive multi-layer protection systems for critical information infrastructures. Practical interpretation of the results illustrates the dependence of the critical impulsive control period on the model parameters and demonstrates the applicability of the approach to cybersecurity strategy design.
