For the multi-scale model, we used four controls: treating the opioid use, reducing HIV risk behaviour among opioid users, entry inhibiting antiviral therapy, and antiviral therapy which blocks the viral production. Two population-level controls are combined with two within-host-level controls. We prove the existence and uniqueness of an optimal control quadruple. Comparing the two population-level controls, we find that reducing the HIV risk of opioid users has a stronger impact on the population who is both HIV-infected and opioid-dependent than treating the opioid disorder. The within-host-level antiviral treatment has an effect not only on the co-affected population but also on the HIV-only infected population. Our findings suggest that the most effective strategy for managing the HIV and opioid epidemics is combining all controls at both within-host and between-host scales.</p>","PeriodicalId":48809,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Dynamics","volume":"18 1","pages":"2317245"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139900750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, an extended proposed model is formulated for this transformed ODE model by including the hepatocyte proliferation of both uninfected and infected cells. Unlike the transformed model, the proposed model can predict the triphasic viral decline and the virus level after therapy cessation without oscillations. Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the effect of hepatocyte proliferation and therapy with direct-acting antivirals agents (DAAs). The basic reproduction number is obtained, the equilibrium points are specified, and their stability is analysed. A bifurcation analysis is performed to specify the bifurcation points and to study the effect of varying system parameters.

A central idea of this work is to design a control action to make the trajectories of the system asymptotically converge to a desired coexistence equilibrium among the infinitely many equilibrium points. We propose a scheme to simultaneously control different anti-symmetric Lotka-Volterra systems in multiple habitat patches by designing a metapopulation model. By introducing a suitable inter-patch migration of species, we prove that the trajectories of the resulting metapopulation model are effectively asymptotically converging to the desired coexistence equilibrium. The stability of the coexistence equilibrium is proved using Lyapunov methods coupled with LaSalle's invariance principle.</p>","PeriodicalId":48809,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Dynamics","volume":"18 1","pages":"2397404"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142141524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we consider a model without delay and explore the effect of hunting time on the coexistence of predator and their prey. When the hunting time is long enough and the cooperation rate among predators is weak, prey and predator species tend to coexist. Furthermore, we observe the occurrences of a series of bifurcations that depend on the cooperation rate and the hunting time. Second, we introduce a maturation delay for predator growth and analyse its impact on the system's dynamics. We find that as the delay becomes larger, predator species become more likely to go extinct, as the long maturation delay hinders the growth of the predator population. Our numerical exploration reveals that the delay causes shifts in both the bifurcation curves and bifurcation thresholds of the non-delayed system.</p>","PeriodicalId":48809,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Dynamics","volume":"18 1","pages":"2332279"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140186045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
