Global Dynamics and Optimal Control of a Viral Infection Model with Generic Nonlinear Infection Rate

This paper is devoted to exploring the combined impact of a generic nonlinear infection rate and infected removable storage media on viral spread. For that purpose, a novel dynamical model with an external compartment is proposed, and the explanations of the main model assumptions (especially the ge...
