ABSTRACT

In this paper, we have proposed a fractional order HIV model, as a generalization of an integer order model, developed by Iwami et al. [4]. The premise of the proposed model is the fact that fractional order models possess memory while the main features of immune response involve memory. It is an attempt to incorporate fractional order into the mathematical model of HIV-immune system dynamics and it is still an interesting exercise to determine, mathematically, how the order of a fractional differential system affects the dynamics of system.
