Abstract
In this paper, we present a within-host model incorporating time delays and drug control mechanisms to study the dynamics of infectious diseases. We begin by defining the basic reproduction number, , and subsequently prove that when , the disease-free equilibrium is globally attractive; while for , the disease persists uniformly. Numerical simulations are employed to validate our analytical findings.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of Applied Mathematics Letters is to provide a means of rapid publication for important but brief applied mathematical papers. The brief descriptions of any work involving a novel application or utilization of mathematics, or a development in the methodology of applied mathematics is a potential contribution for this journal. This journal''s focus is on applied mathematics topics based on differential equations and linear algebra. Priority will be given to submissions that are likely to appeal to a wide audience.
