title: Feedback control of a biodynamical model of HIV-1.
abstract: We describe a continuous differential equation model of the interaction dynamics of HIV-1 and CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes in the human body. We demonstrate several methods of stable control of the HIV-1 population using an external feedback control term that is analogous to the introduction of a therapeutic drug regimen. We also show how the immune system components can be bolstered against the virus through a feedback control approach.
