Abstract

 


We investigate some closed loops of a replicated virus model, to analyses a mathematical model for virus replication. A bifurcation analysis is performed to determine the ranges of parameter values that lead to a steady state. A Hopf bifurcation occurs of a critical value of the time delay for some ranges of parameters.


Keywords: Steady state, Effective delay, Bifurcation, Free virus, infect
