Abstract

In this paper, we introduce fractional-order into a model of HIV infection of CD4^+ T-cells. We show that the model established in this paper possesses non-negative solutions, as desired in any population dynamics. We also carry out a detailed analysis on the stability of equilibrium. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the results.
