Stability of a CD4+ T cell viral infection model with diffusion

This paper is devoted to the study of the stability of a CD[Formula: see text] T cell viral infection model with diffusion. First, we discuss the well-posedness of the model and the existence of endemic equilibrium. Second, by analyzing the roots of the characteristic equation, we establish the local stability of the virus-free equilibrium. Furthermore, by constructing suitable Lyapunov functions, we show that the virus-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if the threshold value [Formula: see text]; the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Finally, we give an application and numerical simulations to illustrate the main results.

Dynamics of a Class of HIV Infection Models with Cure of Infected Cells in Eclipse Stage

In this paper, we propose two HIV infection models with specific nonlinear incidence rate by including a class of infected cells in the eclipse phase. The first model is described by ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and generalizes a set of previously existing models and their results. The second model extends our ODE model by taking into account the diffusion of virus. Furthermore, the global stability of both models is investigated by constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals. Finally, we check our theoretical results with numerical simulations.
