Singly diagonally implicit block backward differentiation formulas for HIV infection of CD\(4^+\)T cells (Q2338003)

Summary: In this study, a singly diagonally implicit block backward differentiation formula (SDIBBDF) was proposed to approximate solutions for a dynamical HIV infection model of CD\(4^+\)T cells. A SDIBBDF method was developed to overcome difficulty when implementing the fully implicit method by deriving the proposed method in lower triangular form with equal diagonal coefficients. A comparative analysis between the proposed method, BBDF, classical Euler, fourth-order Runge-Kutta (RK4) method, and a Matlab solver was conducted. The numerical results proved that the SDIBBDF method was more efficient in solving the model than the methods to be compared.
