In this paper, an HIV infection model including an eclipse stage of infected cells is considered. Some quicker cells in this stage become productively infected cells, a portion of these cells are reverted to the uninfected class, and others will be latent down in the body. We consider CTL-response delay in this model and analyze the effect of time delay on stability of equilibrium. It is shown that the uninfected equilibrium and CTL-absent infection equilibrium are globally asymptotically stable for both ODE and DDE model. And we get the global stability of the CTL-present equilibrium for ODE model. For DDE model, we have proved that the CTL-present equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable in a range of delays and also have studied the existence of Hopf bifurcations at the CTL-present equilibrium. Numerical simulations are carried out to support our main results.

Abstract In this paper, a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection model that includes a protease inhibitor (PI), two intracellular delays, and a general incidence function is derived from biologically natural assumptions. The global dynamical behavior of the model in terms of the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ R 0 is investigated by the methods of Lyapunov functional and limiting system. The infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if $\mathcal{R}_{0}\leq 1$ R 0 ≤ 1 . If $\mathcal{R}_{0}>1$ R 0 > 1 , then the positive equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the main results and to analyze thre effects of time delays and the efficacy of the PI on $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ R 0 .

We investigate the global dynamics of an HIV infection model with two classes of target cells and multiple distributed intracellular delays. The model is a 5-dimensional nonlinear delay ODEs that describes the interaction of the HIV with two classes of target cells, CD4+T cells and macrophages. The incidence rate of infection is given by saturation functional response. The model has two types of distributed time delays describing time needed for infection of target cell and virus replication. This model can be seen as a generalization of several models given in the literature describing the interaction of the HIV with one class of target cells, CD4+T cells. Lyapunov functionals are constructed to establish the global asymptotic stability of the uninfected and infected steady states of the model. We have proven that if the basic reproduction numberR0is less than unity then the uninfected steady state is globally asymptotically stable, and ifR0>1then the infected steady state exists and it is globally asymptotically stable.

In this paper, the dynamical behaviors for a five-dimensional virus infection model with Latently Infected Cells and Beddington–DeAngelis incidence are investigated. In the model, four delays which denote the latently infected delay, the intracellular delay, virus production period and CTL response delay are considered. We define the basic reproductive number and the CTL immune reproductive number. By using Lyapunov functionals, LaSalle’s invariance principle and linearization method, the threshold conditions on the stability of each equilibrium are established. It is proved that when the basic reproductive number is less than or equal to unity, the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; when the CTL immune reproductive number is less than or equal to unity and the basic reproductive number is greater than unity, the immune-free infection equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; when the CTL immune reproductive number is greater than unity and immune response delay is equal to zero, the immune infection equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. The results show that immune response delay may destabilize the steady state of infection and lead to Hopf bifurcation. The existence of the Hopf bifurcation is discussed by using immune response delay as a bifurcation parameter. Numerical simulations are carried out to justify the analytical results.

This paper studies a modified human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection differential equation model with a saturated infection rate. It is proved that if the basic virus reproductive numberR0of the model is less than one, then the infection-free equilibrium point of the model is globally asymptotically stable; ifR0of the model is more than one, then the endemic infection equilibrium point of the model is globally asymptotically stable. Based on the clinical data from HIV drug resistance database of Stanford University, using the proposed model simulates the dynamics of the two groups of patients’ anti-HIV infection treatment. The numerical simulation results are in agreement with the evolutions of the patients’ HIV RNA levels. It can be assumed that if an HIV infected individual’s basic virus reproductive numberR0<1then this person will recover automatically; if an antiretroviral therapy makes an HIV infected individual’sR0<1, this person will be cured eventually; if an antiretroviral therapy fails to suppress an HIV infected individual’s HIV RNA load to be of unpredictable level, the time that the patient’s HIV RNA level has achieved the minimum value may be the starting time that drug resistance has appeared.

In this paper, we study the global properties of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection model with cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) immune response. The model is a six-dimensional that describes the interaction of the HIV with two classes of target cells, CD4+ T cells and macrophages. The infection rate is given by saturation functional response. Two types of distributed time delays are incorporated into the model to describe the time needed for infection of target cell and virus replication. Using the method of Lyapunov functional, we have established that the global stability of the model is determined by two threshold numbers, the basic infection reproduction number R0 and the immune response activation number [Formula: see text]. We have proven that if R0 ≤ 1, then the uninfected steady state is globally asymptotically stable (GAS), if [Formula: see text], then the infected steady state without CTL immune response is GAS, and if [Formula: see text], then the infected steady state with CTL immune response is GAS.

In this paper, we have considered a viral infection model with delayed CTL response and cure rate. For this model, we have researched the stability of these three equilibriums depend on two threshold parameters and , that is, if , the infected-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable; if , the infected equilibrium without CTL response is globally asymptotically stable; and if , the infected equilibrium exists, at he same time, we have found that the time delay can lead to Hopf bifurcations and stable periodic solutions when the is unstable.

In this work, biologically-inspired computing framework is developed for HIV infection of CD4[Formula: see text] T-cell model using feed-forward artificial neural networks (ANNs), genetic algorithms (GAs), sequential quadratic programming (SQP) and hybrid approach based on GA-SQP. The mathematical model for HIV infection of CD4[Formula: see text] T-cells is represented with the help of initial value problems (IVPs) based on the system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The ANN model for the system is constructed by exploiting its strength of universal approximation. An objective function is developed for the system through unsupervised error using ANNs in the mean square sense. Training with weights of ANNs is carried out with GAs for effective global search supported with SQP for efficient local search. The proposed scheme is evaluated on a number of scenarios for the HIV infection model by taking the different levels for infected cells, natural substitution rates of uninfected cells, and virus particles. Comparisons of the approximate solutions are made with results of Adams numerical solver to establish the correctness of the proposed scheme. Accuracy and convergence of the approach are validated through the results of statistical analysis based on the sufficient large number of independent runs.
