A new model for the spread of mobile malware based on proximity (i.e. Bluetooth, ad-hoc WiFi or NFC) is introduced. The spread of malware is analyzed using a Monte Carlo method and the results of the simulation are compared with those from mean field theory.
The behavior of the critical function for the breakdown of the homotopically non-trivial invariant (KAM) curves for the standard map, as the rotation number tends to a rational number, is investigated using a version of Greene's residue criterion. The results are compared to the analogous ones for the radius of convergence of the Lindstedt series, in which case rigorous theorems have been proved. The conjectured interpolation of the critical function in terms of the Bryuno function is discussed.
For the standard map the homotopically non-trivial invariant curves of rotation number satisfying the Bryuno condition are shown to be analytic in the perturbative parameter, provided the latter is small enough. The radius of convergence of the Lindstedt series -- sometimes called critical function of the standard map -- is studied and the relation with the Bryuno function is derived: the logarithm of the radius of convergence plus twice the Bryuno function is proved to be bounded (from below and from above) uniformily in the rotation number.
