Global stability of a multiple delayed viral infection model with general incidence rate and an application to HIV infection

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2014
In this paper, the dynamical behavior of a viral infection model with general incidence rate and two time delays is studied. By using the Lyapunov functional and LaSalle invariance principle, the global stabilities of the infection-free equilibrium and ...
