A singularly perturbed HIV model with treatment and antigenic variation

We study the long term dynamics and the multiscale aspects of a within-host HIV model that takes into account both mutation and treatment with enzyme inhibitors. This model generalizes a number of other models that have been extensively used to describe the HIV dynamics. Since the free virus dyna...

description We study the long term dynamics and the multiscale aspects of a within-host HIV model that takes into account both mutation and treatment with enzyme inhibitors. This model generalizes a number of other models that have been extensively used to describe the HIV dynamics. Since the free virus dynamics occur on a much faster time-scale than cell dynamics, the model has two intrinsic time scales and should be viewed as a singularly perturbed system. Using Tikhonov's theorem we prove that the model can be approximated by a lower dimensional nonlinear model. Furthermore, we show that this reduced system is globally asymptotically stable by using Lyapunov's stability theory.
