In this paper, we investigate a delayed SEIQRS-V epidemic model for propagation of malicious codes in a wireless sensor network. The communication radius and distributed density of nodes is considered in the proposed model. With this model, first we find a feasible region which is invariant and where the solutions of our model are positive. To show that the system is locally asymptotically stable, a Lyapunov function is constructed. After that, sufficient conditions for local stability and existence of Hopf bifurcation are derived by analyzing the distribution of the roots of the corresponding characteristic equation. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to verify the obtained theoretical results and to analyze the effects of some parameters on the dynamical behavior of the proposed model in the paper.

In this article a multi-team delayed predator-prey model has been considered. There are two preys and one predator species in this model and the time delay appears for gestation of the predator. The essential mathematical features of the proposed model around the interior equilibrium point are studied in terms of local asymptotic stability by constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional and the condition for existence of Hopf-bifurcation is derived. By the assumption that the prey teams may help each other the effect of the rate of cooperation on the stability of the predator-prey model has been observed. Numerically a critical value for the delay parameter is obtained as a condition for Hopf-bifurcation.
