The Volterra–Lyapunov matrix theory for global stability analysis of a model of the HIV/AIDS
Abstract
In this paper, we analyze a nonlinear mathematical model of the HIV/AIDS and screening of unaware infectives on the transmission dynamics of the disease in a homogeneous population with constant immigration of susceptibles incorporating use of condom, screening of unaware infectives and treatment of the infected. We consider constant controls and thereafter by incorporating the theory of Volterra–Lyapunov stable matrices into the classical method of Lyapunov functions, we present an approach for global stability analysis of HIV/AIDS. The analysis and results presented in this paper make building blocks toward a comprehensive study and deeper understanding of the fundamental mechanism in HIV/AIDS. A numerical study of the model is also carried out to investigate the analytical results.
