Convergence analysis of the effects of antiviral drug treatment in the fractional differential model of HIV-1 infection of CD4+ T-cells

Abstract

ABSTRACT The time fractional-order nonlinear model of HIV-1 infection of T-cells with and without the rate of virus-producing cells’ death is very important in mathematical modeling. This paper presents proofs of the existence and uniqueness theorems using the Banach fixed point theorem, along with new approximate analytical solutions to two nonlinear fractional Equationuations characterizing HIV-1 infection in CD 4 + T-cells. We use a combination of two methods, namely the natural transform method to deal with the linear terms and the Adomian decomposition method to deal with the nonlinear terms. There are two nonlinear numerical examples presented in this work, namely, we find approximate solutions to the time fractional-order nonlinear model of HIV-1 infection of T cells with and without the rate of virus-producing cells’ death using an effective method called the Adomian natural decomposition method (ANDM). The present approach, which has numerous applications in the science and engineering fields, is a great alternative to the many existing methods for solving systems of differential Equationuations. It also holds great promise for additional real-world applications. The Mathematica 12 package is used to carry out some of the nonlinear term calculations and the graphs presented in this work.
