description In wireless rechargeable sensors (WRSNs), the system is vulnerable to be attacked by malware. Because of the distributed network structure of WRSNs, the malware attack has great influence on the security system of WRSNs. With the variability in malware, the problem of decryption and coding errors will lead to the malware mutating. In this paper, there are two problems to be solved, including the malware mutation and the charging delay in WRSNs. The malware mutation state and the low-energy state are introduced. Firstly, three different equilibrium solutions of the mutation model are given. Then, the local stability is proven by the characteristic equation, and the system will be stabilized at different equilibrium solutions when the base reproductive number is different. With the condition of charging delay, the bifurcation phenomenon is investigated by using the Hopf bifurcation theory. Furthermore, to improve the security of WRSNs and decrease the control cost, the Pontryagin’s Maximum principle is applied to obtain an optimal control scheme under mutation and charging delay. Finally, the numerical simulation is applied by Matlab to confirm this model. The simulation results show that the mutation malware can be controlled when the delay is less than the maximum threshold.
