Stability and Hopf bifurcation on a model for HIV infection of CD4+ T cells with delay

Abstract: In this paper, a delayed differential equation model that describes HIV infection of CD4+ T cells is considered. The stability of the positive equilibrium and the existence of Hopf bifurcation are investigated. In succession, using the normal form theory and center manifold argument, we derive the explicit formulas which determine the stability, direction and other properties of bifurcating periodic solutions.
