We study the global stability of three HI infection models with humoral immune response. We consider two types of infected cells: the first type is the short-lived infected cells and the second one is the long-lived chronically infected cells. In the three HI infection models, we modeled the incidence rate by bilinear, saturation, and general forms. he models take into account two types of discrete-time delays to describe the time between the virus entering into an uninfected CD4 + cell and the emission of new active viruses. he existence and stability of all equilibria are completely established by two bifurcation parameters, R and R 1. he global asymptotic stability of the steady states has been proven using Lyapunov method. In case of the general incidence rate, we have presented a set of sufficient conditions which guarantee the global stability of model. We have presented an example and performed numerical simulations to confirm our theoretical results. 1. Introduction During last decades, many researchers have developed and analyzed several mathematical models which describe human immunodeficiency virus (HI dynamics (see, e.g., [1 12]. HI mainly targets the CD4 + cells,leadingto Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS. Most of the HI mathematical models presented in the literature consider only one type of infected cells called short-lived infected cells. However, it was shown that there is another source for the virus which is called long-lived chronically infected cells. his type of cells generates smaller number of viruses than the short-lived infected cells, but it lives longer [4]. he basic HI dynamics model with long-lived chronically infected cells presented in [4] is given by =π (1 ε k d, = (1 ξ(1 ε k b, C =ξ(1 ε k ac, =N b +N C ac c. (1 Here,,C,and are the concentrations of the uninfected CD4 + cells, short-lived infected CD4 + cells, long-lived chronically infected CD4 + cells,andfreevirus particles, respectively. π represents birth rate constant of the uninfected CD4 + cells.k is the infection rate constant. Parameters d, b, a, andc are the death rate constants of uninfected CD4 + cells, short-lived infected CD4 + cells, long-lived chronically infected CD4 + cells, and free viruses, respectively. he fractions ξ and (1 ξ with <ξ<1are the probabilities that, upon infection, an uninfected CD4 + cell will become either long-lived chronically infected or shortlived infected. N and N C denote the average numbers of free virus particles produced in the lifetime of the short-lived infected and long-lived chronically infected cells, respectively. Model (1 incorporates reverse transcriptase inhibitor drugs with drug efficacy ε and ε<1. In model (1, the immune response has not been modeled. he immune response plays an important role in controlling the diseases. In reality, the immune response needs indispensable components to do its job such as antibodies, cytokines, natural killer cells, and cells. he antibody immune response is a part of the adaptive system in which

2 2 Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society the body responds to pathogens by primarily using the antibodies which are generated by the B cells, while the other part is the Cytotoxic Lymphocytes (CL immune responsewheretheclattacksandkillstheinfectedcells [3]. In malaria disease, the humoral immune response is more effective than the CL immune response. In the virus dynamics literature, several models have considered theeffectofclimmuneresponse[3,13]orthehumoral immune response [14 16]. Obaid and Elaiw [15] proposed the following model which takes into consideration the humoral immune response: =π (1 ε k d, = (1 ξ(1 ε k b, C =ξ(1 ε k ac, =N b +N C ac rz c, Z=gZ μz. Here, the variable Z represents the concentration of B cells. he HI are attacked by the B cells at rate rz. heterms gz and μz represent the proliferation and death rates of the B cells, respectively. In model (2, it is assumed that once the HI contacts the CD4 + cell, it becomes infected producing new viruses. Actually, there exists an intracellular time delay between the time the HI contacts an uninfected CD4 + cell and the time it becomes actively infected CD4 + cell[17]. In the literature, several papers have proposed various HI models with time delays [17 21]. Our aim in this work is to propose three HI dynamics models with two types of infected cells, two types of intracellular delays, and humoral immunity. Bilinear and saturated incidenceshavebeenproposedinthefirstandsecondmodel, respectively, while a general nonlinear incidence rate is proposed in the third model. For each model, we derive two bifurcation parameters, R and R 1,andestablishtheglobal stability using Lyapunov functional. 2. Model with Bilinear Incidence We propose the following HI infection model with humoral immunity, two types of infected cells and two types of intracellular delays: (t =π (1 ε k (t (t d(t, (3 (t =e m 1τ 1 (1 ξ(1 ε k (t τ 1 (t τ 1 (4 b (t, C (t =e m 1τ 1 ξ (1 ε k (t τ 1 (t τ 1 (5 ac (t, (t =e m 2τ 2 N b (t τ 2 N C ac (t τ 3 (6 r(t Z (t c(t, Z (t =g(t Z (t μz(t. (7 (2 Parameter τ 1 represents the time between HI contact with an uninfected CD4 + cell and the cell becoming infected but not yet producer cell. he factor e m 1τ 1 represents the loss of CD4 + cellsduringtheinterval[t τ 1,t]. he parameters τ 2 and τ 3 represent the time necessary for producing new infectious viruses from the short-lived infected and longlived chronically infected cells, respectively. he factors e m 2τ 2 and e m 3τ 3 represent the loss of short-lived and long-lived chronically infected cells during the intervals [t τ 2,t] and [t τ 3,t],respectively.Here,m 1,m 2,andm 3 are positive constants. he initial conditions for system (2 are given by (u =φ 1 (u, (u =φ 2 (u, C (u =φ 3 (u, (u =φ 4 (u, Z (u =φ 5 (u, φ j (u, φ j ( >, u [ τ,, j=1,2,...,5, j=1,2,...,5, where (φ 1 (u, φ 2 (u,...,φ 5 (u C([ τ., R 5 +,wherec is the Banach space of continuous functions and τ = max{τ 1,τ 2,τ 3 }. We note that system (3 (7 with initial conditions (8 has a unique solution satisfying t [22] Positive Invariance Proposition 1. he solution ((t, (t, C (t, (t, Z(t of (3 (7 with initial conditions (8 is nonnegative for t and ultimately bounded. Proof. Assume that (t on [, ρ] for some constant ρ and (t =, t [,ρ].from(3,weget(t =π> and hence (t >,forsomet (t,t +,andsufficiently small >. his leads to a contradiction; therefore, (t >, for all t.from(4,(5,and(6,wehave (t =φ 2 ( e bt +e m 1τ 1 (1 ξ(1 ε t k e b(t η (η τ 1 (η τ 1 dη, C (t =φ 3 ( e at +e m 1τ 1 ξ (1 ε t k e a(t η (η τ 1 (η τ 1 dη, (t =φ 4 ( e t (c+rz(ςdς +e m t 2τ 2 N b e t η (c+rz(ςdς (η τ 2 dη +e m t 3τ 3 N C a e t η (c+rz(ςdς C (η τ 3 dη.

Moreover, from (7, we obtain Z (t =φ 5 ( e t (μ g(ςdς.

(11 Hence, lim sup t G 1 (t L 1.Since(t >, (t, and C (t, then limsup t (t L 1 and lim sup t C (t L 1.Also, G 2 (t =e m 2τ 2 N b (t τ 2 N C ac (t τ 3 c(t rμ Z (t g (e m 2τ 2 N b N C a L 1 s 2 ( (t + r Z (t g <(N b+n C a L 1 s 2 G 2 (t. (12 Hence, lim sup t G 2 (t L 2.Since(t and Z(t are nonnegative, then lim sup t (t L 2 and lim sup t Z(t L 3. herefore, (t, (t, C (t, (t,andz(t are ultimately bounded Steady States. System (3 (7 always admits an uninfected steady state S = (π/d,,,,. Let =π/d.now, we define the basic reproduction number for system (3 (7 as and infected steady state with humoral immune response S 2 = ( 2, 2,C 2, 2,Z 2 : 1 = R, 1 =e m 1τ 1 (1 ξ π (R, b R C 1 =e m 1τ 1 ξπ (R, a R 1 = 2 = d (1 ε k (R, πg gd + (1 ε kμ, 2 =e m 1τ 1 (1 ξ(1 ε kπμ b(dg+(1 ε kμ, C 2 =e m 1τ 1 2 = μ g, ξ (1 ε kπμ a(dg+(1 ε kμ, Z 2 = c r ( dgr dg + (1 ε kμ. (14 We note that 1, 1, C 1,and 1 are positive when R >1and where 2, 2, C 2,and 2 >and Z 2 >when dgr /(dg + (1 εkμ > 1. Now, we define humoral immune response reproduction number R 1 as Clearly, R lemma. R 1 = R 1+(1 ε kμ/dg. (15 > R 1.Fromabove,wecanstatethefollowing Lemma 2. For system (3 (7, one has the following: (i If R 1, then the system has only one positive steady state S. (ii If R 1 1<R, then the system has two positive steady states S and S 1. (iii If R 1 >1, then the system has three positive steady states S, S 1,andS 2. R = (1 ε k [e (m 1τ 1 +m 2 τ 2 (1 ξ N +e (m 1τ 1 +m 3 τ 3 ξn C ]. c (13 he system has two other steady states, infected steady state without humoral immune response S 1 = ( 1, 1,C 1, 1, 2.3.
