The basic reproduction ratio is calculated and the existence of feasible equilibria is established. By analyzing the distributions of roots of the corresponding characteristic equations, the local asymptotic stability of each of feasible equilibria is established. With the help of appropriate Lyapunov functionals and LaSalle’s invariance principle, it is proved that if the basic reproduction ratio is less than unity, the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and the virus is eventually eliminated; if the basic reproduction ratio is greater than unity, the chronic-infection equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the effects of some parameters on HIV-1 infection dynamics.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":6951,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mathematicae Applicatae Sinica, English Series","volume":"42 1","pages":"134 - 145"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145886828","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}

Based on Lax pair of the foNLS equation, the Jost functions are obtained, and their analytical, asymptotic, symmetric properties, as well as the corresponding properties of the scattering matrix are established systematically. For the inverse scattering problem, we discuss the cases that the scattering coefficients have simple zeros and double zeros, respectively, and we further derive their corresponding exact solutions via solving a suitable Riemann-Hilbert problem.

We examine two distinct types of dispersal kernels. For thin-tailed kernels, we study the existence, uniqueness, and stability of forced waves using upper and lower solutions, the sliding method, and the dynamical systems approach. In the case of partially heavy-tailed kernels, considering compactly supported initial value functions, we demonstrate that for each species, the right side of the level sets exhibits accelerated rightward propagation, while transferability occurs. Conversely, the propagation on the left side does not move leftward but rather rightward, with a spreading speed equivalent to that of the shifting environment. Consequently, species with thin-tailed kernels inherently persist in a shifting habitat, provided they are part of a cooperative and irreducible system that includes at least one species with a heavy-tailed kernel, regardless of the magnitude of the shifting environment’s speed. This behavior markedly diverges from the dynamics observed in scalar equations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":6951,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mathematicae Applicatae Sinica, English Series","volume":"42 1","pages":"285 - 312"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145887023","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}
