The economic burden of HIV extends beyond the individual level and affects communities and countries. HIV can lead to decreased economic growth due to lost productivity and increased healthcare costs. In some countries, the HIV epidemic has led to a reduction in life expectancy, which can impact the overall quality of life and economic prosperity. Therefore, it is significant to investigate the intricate dynamics of this viral infection to know how the virus interacts with the immune system. In the current research, we will formulate the dynamics of HIV infection in the host body to conceptualize the interaction of T-cells and the immune system. The recommended model of HIV infection is presented with the help of fractional calculus for more precious outcomes. We introduce numerical methods to demonstrate how the input parameters affect the output of the system. The dynamical behavior and chaotic nature of the system are visualized with the variation of different input factors. The system’s tracking path has been numerically depicted and the impact of the viruses on T-cells has been demonstrated. In addition to this, the key factors of the system has been predicted through numerical findings. Our results predict that the strong non-linearity of the system is responsible for the chaos and oscillation, which are so closely related. The chaotic parameters of the system are highlighted and are recommended for the control of the chaos of the system. Full article

In this paper, we give an efficient way to calculate the values of the Mittag–Leffler (h-ML) function defined in discrete time

h N

, where

h > 0

is a real number. We construct a matrix equation that represents an iteration scheme obtained from a fractional h-difference equation with an initial condition. Fractional h-discrete operators are defined according to the Nabla operator and the Riemann–Liouville definition. Some figures and examples are given to illustrate this new calculation technique for the h-ML function in discrete time. The h-ML function with a square matrix variable in a square matrix form is also given after proving the Putzer algorithm. Full article

In this work, we perform univariate approximation with rates, basic and fractional, of continuous functions that take values into an arbitrary Banach space with domain on a closed interval or all reals, by quasi-interpolation neural network operators. These approximations are achieved by deriving Jackson-type inequalities via the first modulus of continuity of the on hand function or its abstract integer derivative or Caputo fractional derivatives. Our operators are expressed via a density function based on a q-deformed and

λ

-parameterized hyperbolic tangent activation sigmoid function. The convergences are pointwise and uniform. The associated feed-forward neural networks are with one hidden layer. Full article

This work aims to present a study on the stability analysis of linear and nonlinear incommensurate h-nabla fractional-order difference systems. Several theoretical results are inferred with the help of using some theoretical schemes, such as the Z-transform method, Cauchy–Hadamard theorem, Taylor development approach, final-value theorem and Banach fixed point theorem. These results are verified numerically via two illustrative numerical examples that show the stabilities of the solutions of systems at hand. Full article
