We develop hybrid finite difference schemes arising from operator splitting to solve 2-D heat equations. We develop CrankNicholson-Du Fort and Frankel-Lax-Friedrich’s method. We determine that the hybrid Crank-Nicholson-Du ...
In this paper, we consider a discrete mathematical model of HIV-1 in vivo
dynamics in the presences of chemotherapy and delay in infectivity of target cells. A
novel feature in this work is that both delay in infectivity ...
